I shop late-ish at night, so a 24-hour situation is important to me. This place is in the best neighborhood, and they don’t even jack up their prices. Milk Is $1.99 and a huge tub of pineapple cut up is $4.99. They sell huge water bottles for a dollar. The flowers outside are beautiful, and it’s on Prince Street, and the name is SOHO GARDEN…it sort of glows all pretty on the block at night, too. It’s my favorite place to buy pre-cut fruit in New York City; it’s all in tubs. You dig through the ice with your hands. You have to ask them to wrap up the pineapple, though. It’ll drip everywhere.

Greenpoint:
big night on Franklin st has pretty arrangements that are kinda $$ but good
bodega on the corner of Kent and Manhattan Ave has a good flower selection (peonies, ranunculus that isn’t falling apart, etc.) and isn‘t crazy priced
Bushwick:
Stems also always has nice and not corny arrangements that are reasonably priced

People like to complain about the Park Slope Food Coop, but it's one of the only places in NYC where you can get an organic bouquet of lacinato kale for $1.75, olives for $2, and cheeses for just a bit more than $2. There are also quality olive oils well under $18.99, cheap loose teas, inexpensive coffee, Oatly for under $4. Dragonfruit and pomegranates! You might even make a friend.

I have to put a fitness rec in everything. To me, working out is the best part of life. I would have a completely different personality if I didn’t do it every day. And people will be like, “You’re so disciplined.” But I’m really not. The body and the brain gets hooked on it after a few weeks. This app enables that addiction. You can book at the remaining fitness studios that didn’t close during covid. You can learn Pilates Cadillacs or aerial yoga. None of it is scary, because ClassPass classes are full of NYU girls who don’t know how to do shit either. You can book the best workout in the world, BARRY’S BOOTCAMP. On and on. And the fitness studios are so glamorous. Rumble Boxing is like a nightclub. What do you have to lose?

When I was young I loved TIGER BEAT and BIG BOPPER magazine, and now I subscribe to SLAM. It’s like the teenybopper NBA magazine. Every month, there’s a pullout poster and you have to decide who you want on your fridge, you know: Trae Young or Zion? Oh, and there are articles about all of the cool teen high school players coming up. And the best pages are League Fits, with all the NBA stars in crazy clothes. And then there are the letters to the editor, and that’s, like teens at home complaining to SLAM editors being all, “There has been gross lack of representation of my man Jaylen Brown in League Fits!” I love it all.

I always have white wine in the house, and rosé in the spring and summer. I’m not picky. I go to the store and buy five different kinds and lug it home. As long as its dry, I’ll drink it. But I learned a few years ago that I like “buttery” chardonnay. I always have a bottle of this stuff around. It’s so good, and it’s so cheap. It’s $11.99! And it’s my favorite wine ever. You have to drink it out of a beautiful, thin glass.
