Unreal combo - the sweetness and spice of the chai combine so perfectly with the grassy bitterness of the matcha, all blending into a gorgeous soothing vibrant green elixir. This costs so much money and I just have to laugh at the ultimate American co-opting and blending of two separate tea cultures but I cannot deny its appeal. Gunther’s in Ridgewood is the ultimate.

Even if you have other creative pursuits that require your brain to work, it’s fun to have one that requires very little thought or attention. I started crocheting a couple years ago and it’s perfect while sitting in front of the TV or listening to a podcast or just zoning out. Makes me feel productive even as my brain melts out my ears, and makes me feel creative even when I’m not doing any cooler, more challenging projects that require more of my energy.
