Idk why but after the ballet at Lincoln Center they were giving out free beer and put on a DJ so people could dance ! Seeing all these middle aged people in their fancy dress get down made me SO happy !!! check in advance if this is being offered or be pleasantly surprised
People are constantly asking me where to go out in New York, but that’s kind of a hard question to answer. What I try to encourage people to do is get together with a group of people they love and go somewhere they would normally never go. People are far too fucking pretentious about their nightlife in this city and if you’ve spent every weekend for the last three months at Basement or Bossa or whatever, you’re probably chasing something you’ll never actually catch. I have the most fun when my friends go somewhere out of our ordinary, with people we’d never normally associate with. All of this to say: It’s ok to go dance at ACME sometimes.
pls dont be turned off by the corny concept. the bands and djs are actually rly good and the programming is pretty diverse! this year i’ve danced to salsa, cumbia, house, funk, and more tba.. the only con is the sets are usually no more than an hour… but it’s all free!!! perfect place to warm up for a night out i recommend:
-los mirlos (peruvian psych cumbia, 7/10) - os mutantes (brazilian tropicalia/psych, 7/17) -li xiaochuan (chinese jazz, 7/26) -toño rosario (merengue, 7/30) -globalfest (afrobeat, electro arab jazz, cumbia, 8/2) -dj lucha (post-punk, indie, cumbia, 8/7) -ruidosa fest [feat. empress of and snow tha product] (pop, jazz, rap, 8/9)
Oh god!!!! lentils!!! You can eat them for days in a variety of ways Sauté onion, celery, carrots or PARSNIPS
Get some tomato paste and MISO mixed and melted
Cumin, paprika, curry mixes
Lentils, a cup?
Salt obvi
Water, enough to cover and then some (you can always add more)
Bring to boil, cover, reduce
check water levels now and then. should not be soupy, not dry, just a lil saucy wetness
Taste
W sauce, rice vinegar
Taste, chefs kiss? I eat with a side of lemony arugula and topped with an egg dotted w hot sauce
Can also reheat the next day, add a bit of goat cheese, make salad w arugula, pass out ur so healthy and amazing and tasty
I made one for summer (kayak, eat corn!) and forgot to make one for fall+winter. Gonna do a spring bucket list (planting, marshy hikes b4 it gets ticky). Doesn’t have to be on theme even but it’s a nice way to engage in the fleeting seasons
