I hate showing up empty handed. Your friends will appreciate it. Plus, as an added bonus you’ll likely develop a strong relationship with your local wine shop owner.
my friends Ben and Marissa did this last night when they came over and I was blown away. so used to a guest only bringing one. and I'm left with an unopened bottle for later! so awesome
I’m sure the NYC based folks may already be familiar, but I’ve been obsessing over Geese about a month or so now. Post-punk-ish with a cool, Classic Americana feel.
Grab some friends, hit a restaurant you love on a night they aren’t busy. Slow things down and take your time. Enjoy the conversation, enjoy the moment. Tip well.
