I’m so over wallets. They weigh you down and are honestly embarrassing. Why do you need all of that? I keep my ID in the back of my phone case (risking identity theft like a chiller) and I pay for everything with my phone (because I live in the future). I feel so free and dexterous without it, like I could run a marathon or slide between the bars of a metal gate. And if some place I go to is cash only… well I get to have a cute little meltdown and then sheepishly ask my friends if they can pay for me and I venmo them later.

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 recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

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.

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.

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 :)

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.Â
