it's spring. there are some good parks in brooklyn. walk over, get some fresh air, find some cafe, get a bite on your way back, or maybe pick up like one ingredient to make dinner with, something like that.
if you wander by some bowling alley or arcade or karaoke club, pop in. Personally, my goal there would be to have a fun time with strangers, but you could just do your own thing.
if you're in manhattan, go up to the bar on the roof of some hotel, don't even bother getting a drink, just appreciate their view. or get a drink, they're expensive but often tasty.
wander. the city is dense and walkable.

You were just asking your friend what happened to that band and then you hear them playing when you walk into the cafe. Thinking about an old friend and then them calling you soon after. Things lining up

They are honor and celebrate peoples lives so beautifully and often offer insight. This one at the Brooklyn botanic gardens lilac collection is such a sweet nod to a fellow lilac lover and if you aren’t looking closely you might miss it!

Art criticism has its place but nothing stinks more than recommending a movie to someone and them saying “but it has a low IMDB rating”… maybe it’s just ahead of its time. maybe it’s misunderstood. Maybe it’s perfectly low brow.
