Bowling is a sick thing to do. In a city like New York, that was once the city that never sleeps, it feels like we're in a permanent coma post Covid and thereās no place to hang out late at night. But up the street from my house thereās a place thatās open ātil 4 am every night. And itās called The Gutter. Itās a sick bowling alley and itās become my go-to hang with my friends. You can drink, you can play a game, you can socialize, you can flirt, and the lighting is great. In most other places itās too dark to see if the people youāve come with are hot that night, but at this bowling alley, you can always see if someoneās hot or not. If you want to go bowling with me, hit me up, I take a lot of people, and itās always a good time.

If youāre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donāt! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itās 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 itās cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. Itās not really anything special visually but itās a beautiful institution and itās so fun to be there ā¤ļø
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loewās Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! Itās pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but itās 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.Ā 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.

I love food. I love love. And I love movies that are about food making people fall in love. This movie was right up my alley; it really fucked me up. Juliette Binoche is one of the hottest women in the world. If you havenāt seen it yet, watch it, cry, fall in love, tell all your friends. I think itās one of the most underrated movies of the year.

Yesā¦it is boring often, but also, so are a lot of other things people do. Whenever my friends would ask me to go see a concert that they were putting on with their band or to see them do stand-up comedyā did I think of all the bad stand-up comedy Iāve been to before? Yes. But did I still go hoping that theirs might be good? Yes. That is because I donāt hate life. Yet often, when I tell people ācome see a play with meā theyāre like āUGH I hate plays.ā Theatre is really cool; there is often really really shit theatre and thatās ok. A lot of things are really shitty. Think about this: where else can you go and hang out with 400 people, minimum, and be able to sit and *something* over people possibly failing in front of you. Itās really fun! Go see threatre.

This man was a fascist, but he was also gay, and you know what, sometimes gay people can be bad. And sometimes bad people can write really well, and one of the greatest writers of the 20th century was Yukio Mishima. If you want to see into worlds beyond your own, you should check him out. He created an entirely new language for Japanese literature. I discovered him when I took a Japanese literature and translation class in undergrad and heās been my background on my phone ever since. Heās great. I think that if you want to start right, start with āConfessions of a Maskā and go on to āForbidden Colors.ā Every book is a banger. Also watch Paul Scraderās movie, āMishima: A Life in Four ChaptersāĀ Itās a phenomenal phenomena phenomenal movie.
