I live and die by the comfort of the NYT crossword app, yes you have to pay for the full sized crossword, but life is silly so why not be silly with it. I pull it out at solo dinners, planes, drinks, coffee, whatever. Enjoyment may vary.
The success of my day primarily relies on how well (or more often than not, badly) I do on my crossword. At the moment I am loving the NYT app on my phone - it also offers a more accessible ‘mini’ crossword, as well as the wordle.
However, now and again I’ll buy a copy of the New Yorker, flip straight to the last page, and do a physical crossword over an oat milk flat white - my slice of paradise 🥰
it’s so satisfying to finish the daily crossword puzzle, it will make you feel like the hottest and smartest bitch alive. besides, you’re gonna be on your phone anyways might as well be better than everyone.
at the bar w yr friends. okay, it’s not the NYT, but it’s still fun to crowdsource the answers while having a drink. The end goal is to finish the crossword, but also take a load off on a Sunday night
While hot dog week runs strong on PIFIY, bringing it back to a time honored tradition — THE Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest. The lore to NHDEC is fun and is worth marvelling at how many hot dogs people can just scarf down.
