I’m a bit of a girly pop but whenever I go into a bodega I tap into a divine Italian masculinity that delights and frightens me. I say things like “hey boss” and “lemme get that with pepperjack”. I don’t even know what pepperjack is but it sounds dangerous. Like asking for a sandwich with a switchblade in it.

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎

I love meeting new people with my entire being. I talk to everyone and have so many wonderful connections because of it. It’s an art, one must know how to enter a conversation and when to exit it. Never overstaying your welcome or coming on too strong. I think everyone in NY should be friends and I wish every weekend the entirety of prospect park was a picnic that anyone could join.

I’ve been eating here since I was a baby. The smell of spice welcomes you and it’s frustrating that you can’t eat everything there all at once. Please go and get a spinach feta pie (heated up) and thank you later :)

There’s something about an 8 pixel image of a tamarind monkey that makes my heart sing the most beautiful melody known the man(imal). I have an entire folder of these pics on my phone, hundreds of grainy monkeys and apes, and I look at them whenever I’m feeling down. They are my coffee, my muse, my goodnight kiss, and my sacred text. Also monkeys are like… funny lol
