Used to be distributed around cafes and bars in the city up until the creator died in 2020. There's a tumblr / google drive with pdfs of most of the issues – my favorite sections were always the crossword puzzle and Overheards :')
or maybe Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
I saw hella movies in theaters last year on the AMC stubs membership but it was CGI monkeys carrying heavy emotions ftw

i don't live in NYC anymore but when i did for a beautiful brief moment screen slate was my best friend. basically a collectivized list of all the repertory cinemas and their respective showtimes for the day, plus a summary of current art exhibitions currently on display at various museums. doing a cheeky two day trip to the big apple at the end of march and you already KNOW i'm using this goated site to plan my days.
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
