People don’t think of crossbody bags and think of fashion, they think of the opposite, utility and convenience. Understandably so, as most of the crossbody bags we see out in the world are not making a fashion statement, in fact, they are usually stating the opposite. They scream, “My dog just pooped and my baby is crying and I can’t be bothered to manage a chic but inconvenient purse.” As a person who cares for fashion and likes to feel fashionable as much as possible, I’ve spent many years struggling to keep the trendy shoulder bags from slipping off my shoulder, until I discovered the duality of the crossbody bag. The crossbody bag can be cool, you just have to find the right one. Finding chic crossbody bags is challenging unless you seek them out, as they are usually hiding in the darker sections of clothing stores and the 8th page of an online site. To complicate things further, there’s no formula for picking them out and you must base the decision on intuition. I’ll tell you this though, it’s a closet staple absolutely worth finding.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

Tickets are $10 cash, $5 beers and $3 sodas, plus a myriad of pierogi joints nearby for you to grab a bite at beforehand.

With maturity and wisdom comes the ability to enjoy bird watching. Prior to now I misunderstood the activity completely, and in a lot of ways I still have a lot to learn. I don’t pencil bird watching into my schedule, I don’t have bird species memorized, I don’t have a pair of binoculars in my bag, but I find myself watching birds occasionally, and I really enjoy it. For example, on my birthday this year, I decided to spend the day alone (I get emo on my birthday), and I took myself to the beach. I walked for a while before deciding to sit and watch birds. I watched birds for almost an hour and I had a beautifully relaxing time. They really don’t do anything miraculous, but there is something meditative about watching them eat soggy crumbs off the ground and ruffle their little feathers for reasons unknown. I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up taking it seriously in my older age… I guess we’ll have to see.

I have two (minor) issues in my life that have both been solved by a single action. The issues are, 1) I eat too fast and it causes me a number of horrific digestional issues and 2) I don’t read as much as I would like to. The solution is, reading while I eat. I discovered this by accident. I go through disciplinary phases where I force myself not to consume any form of internet content. During one of these phases, I found myself bored while eating my lunch alone and I decided to entertain myself with a book. Little did I know how delightful this would truly be. The physical requirements of reading a book forced me to slow down my eating, I think I added 20 minutes to my eating process by simply adding a book to the equation. Now, my stomach hurts less and I’m reading more books. Hurray!

This is the best show I have seen in years. It checks every box for me, it’s humorous, it’s investigative, it’s light-hearted, and it’s genius. It has everything needed to be a “comfort show,” and that it is for me. I put this show on anytime I don’t have anything else I want to watch (which is often because I hate starting new television ventures out of fear of disliking them and being plagued with guilt about not watching enough to fully judge. I will say to myself, “maybe it will get better if I watch for a bit longer?” until I have finished the entire thing and wasted 2-6 hours of my life, etc). John Wilson has created the perfect show.
