At a dive bar in center city on “my Saturday“ and did the crossword in full during a solo citywide round. this rec has been philly-coded so far, but you can do the crossword out anywhere!
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
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
