Can’t leave the house without my car keys, wallet, phone, headband, camera, belvita breakfast crackers, scrunchie, hand lotion, 3 kinds of hand sanitizer, 2 kinds of lip balm, advil, chikawa themed medicine pouch, pen from work, socks and vape!
Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?
Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎
Phở so good it got us writing Google reviews. The owners were so lovely and genuinely excited to share their food. You know it's going to be good when you walk in and the owners are prepping shallots at the front counter 🤰
I don't know the amazon 🤢 log in so needless to say, when the parents are away, I can display.. (fleabag in the living room). The first time I watched it, I accidentally stayed up until 3am finishing the show because I couldn't put it down. Fl;eabag's been talked about for years and yet it's STILL not overrated IMO. Plus, it's only SIX EPS per season... 24 minutes long!!! It;'s a no-brainer.
