If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.
Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!
Escape into a whimsical moment w/the paintings of Seth Becker, who has a show at Venus Over Manhattan on Great Jones St. I own this painting of his dog Toby connecting w/the gaze of a frog.
Start a file on your phone of S&W things you see that make you smile or marvel. First entry in mine: rock in middle of snowy stream with monster face with teeth painted on it.
