Ask for the jerk jackfruit patty. I used to live in DTLA & I found this lowkey Jamaican food restaurant in a food court. Turns out the owner is from the same parish my family is from in Jamaica. She's the sweetest. When I had my album pop up, she came through with her patty truck. At some point that evening she placed a warm jerk jackfruit patty in my hand to try. One of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.
Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!
I thought we milked everything possible under the sun until I came across this. The first time I tried banana milk I wanted to cry. I was on a banana smoothie kick at the time so this was right up my alley. nothing added, just bananas. It's fascinating! Mostly I put it in my lattes but it’s also delicious on its own.
I discovered this song on a deep YouTube dive and do not regret it. I remember having it on repeat for at least three consecutive days. Her voice is like a soft fuzzy robe for your ears. She also has such a way with words. If there was a song I wish I'd written it would be this song.
Chartreuse used to be my favorite color and life was so much harder then. Balancing life’s never ending list of demands just didn’t pair well with color coordination. My grandma used stay in an all black fit. She would joke that she was always chic and funeral ready. I feel so much lighter now that I welcomed the color black into my life.
