I mean ya I guess it’s well-known but I went there at least weekly when I lived out east and it’s very fun to look around at the different vendors. There’s a really good crepe spot there :)
Specifically the downstairs Lincoln Center Whole Foods, with its windowless cafeteria. My favorite place for my thirty minute lunch break. A midtown third space oasis. You’ve got it all—your tour groups, your business men, Bad Roman, bad public art. A place I’m strangely nostalgic for, as it was one of the first places I visited on my first trip to New York (in 2015, on a high school band field trip). One day I may have to write a Benjaminian Arcades Project-esque ode to this particular commercial complex.
I know it’s overpriced but it smells like gourmet rotisserie chicken, plays jazz, has better sushi and sandwiches than Wegman’s, and I never see DoorDash shoppers whipping around in there.
Work literally destroys the soul. Everyone is exhausted all the time because performing labor and maintaining the human spirit are incompatible with each other. We live under a system that wants everyone beaten down and isolated and having little energy to make plans with those you love is a symptom of a larger, evil system
Freshman year I went through an industrial phase so I was really into stuff like Rammstein, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, etc. Sophomore year is kind of a blur but I remember listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem and Kraftwerk. Junior year I got REALLY into shit like Bikini Kill, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, etc. Also went through a good month or two where I was only listening to ska. I have no recollection of anything I did during senior year so idk what I listening to lol
