I want more people to use it but I also want it to stay intimate and not overwhelming? I like how I can follow strangers without second guessing, or post whatever and not overthink it. I like that it’s simple &easy and not over curated. I like that it doesn’t incentivize weird self obsessed behavior like other social media and we can just share silly cute thoughts!

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

Sometimes you eat a small breakfast really early or you just have a coffee, and it’s nice to eat lunch at 10:30 or 11

Not really a staple meal but I love making it for friends and helping people discover that spam is DELICIOUS
I marinate and pan fry slices of spam in soy sauce/brown sugar/fish sauce mixture. it’s helpful to use a spam mold to wrap and press into little sandwiches with sushi rice and nori, and then wrap in plastic wrap
Sooo yummy and great as a snack or meal
