If you've ever wondered what it's like to die and go to heaven, visit Patricia's of Morris Park in the Bronx for your answer. They make, hands down, the best Cacio e Pepe in New York City.
The noodles are a chewy perfectly cooked spaghetti alla chitarra. Though it's got truffle in it—it is unpretentious. It is creamy, rich and perfect. Try it, ascend, and unzip your pants at the dinner table without feeling judgement.

I’m recovering from a weird phase when it seemed like every pizza I ate was, in some way, uninspired. But this pizza and carbonara hybrid is the most important union in my life. (The pinsa amatriciana is good too.) Bar Camillo is lowkey, and has a backyard that’s tolerable in the cold and divine in summer.

Not to give a basic answer like this but trust me. I had their pesto pasta again last week and i’ve been dreaming of it ever since. Need to go back asap.
(idk about any of their other dishes because all three times ive gone ive gotten the pesto pasta but that in and of itself should say something lol)

my #1 pizza right now (besides ellios frozen pepperoni) there are a few of them throughout the city but i go to the one in east harlem since that's closest to me. old school italian vibe, cash only. thin crust cooked to perfection, delicious sauce not too tangy or sweet, and tasty cheese that isn't gunky or goopy. the place is unpretentious, fairly priced and tastes better than the highly overrated Lucali. definitely would recommended.

I know this might be controversial but I actually started doing this over the past few months—and I don’t mean flatulating somewhere cruel like on the subway or in an elevator, but literally just walking on the street. I realized I do not care if it makes a noise as long as I personally can’t hear it and pretend nothing has happened. It’s really liberating and has even brought me to a much more philosophical question akin to "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" — but more like, “if I do something embarrassing but I don’t perceive it or take note of anyone’s reactions, is it actually embarrassing?” Maybe not?

Not to be a LAME-O but I'm always shocked when the bill comes during a meal where we didn't order drinks, it is SO much cheaper (and just as yummy) *chefs kiss*

Every time there is a long holiday break from work or even a night where I don't have much going on, I find myself super anxious, desperately looking for a way to do something productive (write, clean, bake then clean more, workout, do a task I've been putting off). My boyfriend, on the other hand, is realllllly good at RELAXING. Yesterday he spent the whole day in bed watching Tiny Desk on the T.V., drinking tea, reflecting and relaxing. At the end of the day he said it was much needed and then went to bed early. In 2024 I want to be able to do NOTHING and feel good. Like really good, not fake good. Haven't done it yet but I think I would highly recommend it.
