I can say with full conviction that Happy 99 is probably one of my favorite clothing brands to date. The craziest part is that the clothes are just the bonus when it comes to Happy 99. The designers @domsolo and @spicyobj take great pride in their well designed clothes, accessories, 3D advertisements, and even home slippers! They have an interesting way of showcasing their pieces through their 3D runways, check them out here.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

Quarantine can be very boring, with all types of fun activities slowly reopening, the quickest way to feel any sense of excitement is through streaming services. For someone who really appreciates Japanese culture, there’s tons of anime that did just the trick for me. Here are a few shows that would entice both veteran and newcomers to the anime world. P.S Samurai Champloo has an amazing soundtrack with an opening theme song created by Nujabes (RIP).

With everything going on in the world and the election shortly approaching, a vast majority of the fashion industry has been forced to open their eyes and take action. Dover Street Market teamed up with various artists and WWAV (When We All Vote) to get everyone out to vote in the upcoming election. The most outstanding piece was created by a black artist named Cam Hicks. He’s an aspiring creative director and his sweater highlights the many things that voting can change.

If you love minimal furniture with a bit of a nuanced look, checkout Lichen. It’s an archival collection that consists of designer furniture located in Brooklyn, NY. I discovered this store while I was living in Brooklyn. They have an amazing selection of home goods and other little trinkets. I most recently bought their bamboo divider and it is great for large spaces that need a unique way to be sectioned off.
