I'm partial to an Espresso Tonic (espresso in tonic water with lemon and simple syrup) or a Lemonade Americano (two shots of espresso in a lemonade), but just in general I love Americanos (espresso in hot water), Red Eyes (espresso in black coffee), Black Eyes (four shots of espresso in black coffee), Espresso Martinis - just any drink that has espresso but no dairy element. Call it "caffeine-maxing" or whatever, but that is my preferred way to drink coffee when I can go somewhere fun.
Shout out Amherst Coffee in Amherst, Massachusetts, you'll always be my favorite!

I don’t know why this isn’t a more popular beverage, but a cold brew alcoholic splash into a nice glass of tonic will swiftly usurp the place in your mouth’s heart that’s been hitherto reserved for espresso martinis and/or Diet Coke.

Fancy coffee bar? Espresso or its' martini form.
Fancy café? Espresso.
Fancy cute café? Affogato or Vienna.
Casual café? Lattes in the morning, americanos in the evening.
At home? From a friend's mokapot preferably so I'm not making it, black, two sugars.
Hotels? Black, two sugars unless they can make a decent espresso.
Buffets? Black, pour in a bunch of the delicious cheap creamers, lots of sugar, etc., their coffee isn't always fantastic.

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered

At my local indie cinema for a projection of the new Nosferatu, infinitely grateful I have a place like this I can go to see new stuff and incredible programming!
