I love drag! I love musicals! I love camp! I love wigs! If you are also a lover of these things go see this show. I laughed more than I ever have in a theatre and I even cried
FYI when you buy tickets in the orchestra, try to get closer than the first 3 or 4 rows. There’s some stuff that happens on a balcony that we couldn’t see at all and the tickets aren’t advertised as obstructed view

One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. See it at the Orpheum because it will for sure come to Broadway soon. It deserves it. If you love classic musicals with modern humor. You’re gonna love this

I know there is a certain stigma around the "theater kid" but I love a musical. They (mostly) are a lot of fun and sometimes they can really make you cry and feel something. For instance, as I'm writing this I'm watching one of my all-time favorites "Gypsy" specifically the one with Bette Midler. This film is the original Dance Moms, literally a show about a mom who pushed her kids into show business so hard that one of them ran away and the other became a stripper (Okay burlesque dancer but the show is set in the 1920s so like the same thing). Now I should specify when I say musical I don't mean you should put on any of these new shows that are just adaptations of films with badly written scores. Watch any musical written pre-2010 and post-1950s and I can guarantee It will be a fun time (unless you're one of those people who says the singing doesn't make sense cause in the real world nobody would sing, stop hating fun!) All I'm gonna finish with is they are so fun and campy (sometimes) and often have lots of interesting ideas and ways of presenting them (like the film adaptation of Cabaret? so good).

Go down to Brick Lane on Saturday or Sunday for the vintage market, it’s huge! Skip hotel breakfast and get a bagel from Beigel Bake while you’re there
Camden Market is where everyone goes. There’s lots of cute stalls and plenty of indie stores between the tourist traps. Try to go during the week because it can get overwhelming with people
Take advantage of the free (yes 100% free) museums!
V&A is a must, especially the costume wing
National Gallery/National Portrait Gallery is also nice
Also, cannot emphasize enough to only eat ethnic food while you’re there and eat as much as you can
Dishoom (if you can’t get a dinner res just stand in line for lunch) is still a top 3 meal of all time for me
Try and get a res at Darjeeling Express! Chef Asma Kahn and her all-women run kitchen were featured on Chefs Table if you want to get to know her and the restaurant better and cry so much
Zima is a v cute Russian spot in SoHo with cafe vibes and cool art
If you’re a garlic girlie, Garlic and Shots is right around the corner and has, yes, so many different shots you can take and so much good bar food with garlic
There’s also a casual Sri Lankan food place called Hoppers on the same block
Seriously, forget about going out of your way for British food. You’ll be disappointed every time
If you ever want to get out of SoHo, walking is so rewarding and there’s a ton a cute things to see. Also, the train is super easy (you can just use your phone to tap in and out now) if you want to explore other neighborhoods further out

A music video night staple I fear. This song deserves to be 5 minutes long and this video deserves to be 20 mins
