If you’ve never heard of Area, it was a themed nightclub that operated in the mid 80s in NYC. It was the hottest club in town and unlike any that came before it. Truly irreplaceable, unrepeatable and one of its kind, every six weeks the club would go under a total transformation unveiling a unique theme. The nights were legendary and among it inhabited the most interesting, melting pot of people. This book gives you a glimpse into those special nights and constantly serves as a reminder of the magic that can occur in only a place like NYC.

It’s getting darker, it’s getting colder, and that sweaty warehouse in a derelict part of town is beckoning. A strong line up of DJs with character paired with a group of friends you love dearly can equal the greatest night of your life.

full disclosure i work with the venue but that is only because i went and loved it so much. it’s perfect. some things about it:
- the dance floor is an immersive art installation
- incredible bookings of up and coming artists and big names by the co-owner/operator and creative director who is herself a dj
- the sound is so good its insane. perfectly tuned and balanced
- the dance floor has some “give” to it so it’s wicked comfy to dance on — i never get sore
- there’s COAT HOOKS *on* the dance floor
- the drinks are delish. theres this one cocktail called “the coffee” it is to die for. there’s a sick happy hour but drink prices are always reasonable
- the bathrooms are made for selfies but in a genuinely cool way
- the dance floor is intimate but there’s tons of seating and tables and places to chill throughout the rest of the venue (and you can hear all the music on the same sound system)
- the service is insanely good everyone who works there is so kind
- i never once have felt awkward or out of place there it’s just such a good vibe and i always make new friends
there’s more but i can’t put it all in one post or i’ll be here all night

Let me start by saying I am a BIG condiment girl with mustard, being my number one. Dark Horse’s fermented Dijon, however, is just next level GOOD. So good that I go through approximately a jar every 1.5 weeks. A little sweet from a touch of honey, a little smoky from capers and onion and a touch spicy - it’s all ground up to perfection to create an addictingly good and your new “put-on- everything” condiment.

I want to take a bath in this serum. It’s a luxe, indulgent, everyday necessity that makes your skin look and feel like it just had a fat drink of water. From the bottle, to the scent, to application to absorption - my morning and night moments with this serum are the best parts of my day.

Who knew that hibiscus water would be the beverage I never knew I would crave daily. Zero sugar, 1 ingredient, antioxidant rich and full of electrolytes - Ruby is my new afternoon companion, mezcal mixer, post workout sip and generally all around go to non-water beverage. Tart, Crisp and just a little sweet - I’m hooked.
