I am a Now You See Me apologist if absolutely nothing else!! I have missed 5townz Having never been there and find the work of Ms Isla, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco to be so brilliant!! In movie two I laughed out loud at the new character!! And of course mr Ruffalo my husband !!
Tower Heist; I think about the car possibly every day!!
The Bling Ring: oh how I love you ms coppola
Oceans: 11, 12, 13, 8! I love the absolute brilliance of these star studded casts, everyone has such incredible chemistry and I love the met gala so as soon as Ms Hathaway entered in oceans 8!!! oh my god I was so sold
Hustlers: are you kidding me ???
How to Steal a Million: an older film but very fun with its setting!
Disgraceful mention for Billionaire Boys Club and Baby Driver; sadly I cannot erase Spacey from these movies.
Not a movie but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention La Casa de Papeles!!! oh my god everything from the names of each character to the character development and dedication to explaining everyone’s back story!! Lupin as well!

Ocean’s 11, obviously the essential heist film of the 21st century, but Ocean’s 12 poses the question of doing away with what we expect from someone who already nearly perfected the genre but gave him a hundred million dollars to do insane auteur stuff, there’s some camerawork in Twelve that leaves me in awe even to this day, it’s a remarkably dense film

rewatched these recently and they’re so great. Touching and funny and really striking sets/shots.
Reminded me of how good Wes Anderson is beyond all the memes. I know people clown on some of his tendencies as a director but the guy knows how to make a fuckin movie.

- The grocery store franchise closest to you is possibly overcharging, so sometimes groceries become a sort of Halloween style I buy fruit from here, pantry things from here, etc etc
- Lots of free things to do with a library card!! so many museums have discounted / free admission, the Met for example allows you to do a suggested donation when showing a library card
- Obvious but tap water is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 no need to buy fancy water when going out to eat (and on this note I always carry around a reusable water bottle and one of those little electric fans bc the temperature outside never matches the subway)
- There is no greater joy than getting a blanket and a book and people watching on Sheep Meadow/the Mall/ at any park
- Explore the other boroughs!!
- It’s so cliche but you can stumble upon so many fun restaurants, events, bars, shops, concerts, museums, etc etc by just strolling around
- In tandem with the above I sometimes check the Time Out NY website, the New York Times daily newsletter, New York Magazine. The New Yorker, etc for inspiration and info about things going on
- Citymapper is your bff for navigating the subway/bus/transit/walking/etc and is great with keeping you posted on any delays
- On this note also always check an MTA app or citymapper etc to see if trains are running, can save you time and sanity
- So many free concerts and events at places like the 92nd Street Y, in Bryant Park, SummerStage in Central Park
- If you like TV you can go to tapings of shows or get paid to be part of the studio audience on websites like 1iota or Shadow Casting and Productions
- Also can get lots of free things from pop ups that different brands host throughout the city, my roommate usually finds them on instagram
- Join the free rewards program of your favorite coffee place / grocery store/ etc
