I will never forget my 5th grade teacher who would play the Phantom of the opera soundtrack everyday while we did busy work in class. For some reason this soundtrack has become my comfort album (original cast but there is a time and a place for the movie soundtrack). Many times while working I am singing this at the top of my lungs (sorry to my neighbor). I have seen the play and movie numerous times and mourn the fact that it is no longer playing on broadway. I am Phantom every year for Halloween and have a collection of miscellaneous Phantom of the opera merch including a throw blanket, a collectors piece indeed. I invite you over and you see my Phantom of the opera throw blanket on my bed, what are you doing in that situation…?

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

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

No matter where I go there is maldon inside of my purse (usually in a small bonne maman jar) and I will be whipping it out at the dinner table. You never know when a dish at a restaurant is going to be under seasoned (the salt has come in handy many times). Alternatively I firmly believe all desserts have way more depth of flavor if finished with flaky salt. In the summer it’s essential to sprinkle on gelato.

I am passionate about collecting mustard. A hobby of mine is searching for unique mustards when out and about or traveling. I have a vast selection of grainy, classic dijon, and more adventurous varieties like black currant or gingerbread to name a few. My favorite mustard brand is Edmond Fallot. If you went into my pantry it slightly resembles a speciality grocery store and my fridge has around 3-4 jars open at all times.

You can never go wrong with a sandwich, it just might be the perfect food. I love playing around with seasonal produce, cheeses, meats, and bread to create a fun and unique sandwich. You may be wondering about my favorite which is a timeless classic, tuna salad. I will not stand for any tuna salad slander. I make mine with crisp lettuce and sprouts, milk bread, and cape cod potato chips INSIDE the sandwich. Nothing compares to the feeling of eating a sandwich on the beach after swimming in the ocean.
