While it doesn't fit the "concrete-looking" part of your bill, I would recommend this cozy, underground (and bookable) spot for the decor/vibes/mezcal/music-centricity ✨ (link attached above)
First time trying a spot a couple blocks from me and wow it won’t be the last. Especially funny that I fled my usual spot for noise/bad music and ended up somewhere so delectable.
its soooo good. especially the section on desire. if you have three hours to spare I highly recommend.
on a side note: love a good video essay. a lot are kinda half assed, but the good ones are so good and help with my atrocious attention span!
I used to cry every year on my bday but honestly in recent years I’ve grown to love it? Idk if it’s bc I’ve gotten older or feel less pressure, but even just seeing two besties on the day warms my heart and I just love my birthday! 🎈
