Hi!! I’ve lived in brooklyn for a few years and part of living here is that you become effectively a part-time airbnb for all your friends when they come to NY. So I feel like i’ve seen the good and bad ways to visit.
10 days is a nice chunk of time! i think the most important thing is to pick 1 area or neighborhood and plan your days around that. like spend a day doing all the little shops in williamsburg, do a park slope / brooklyn museum day, etc.
The “perfect day for first-timers” that i take my friends when they visit me for the first time: Get a cute little lunch at Cafe Gitanne in Dumbo, go to the little dumbo shops - Front General (both locations), Natural Selection, Hudson Wilder. Then take the ferry to greenpoint - you get to see the entire skyline and it’s literally $4. Get pierogis and borscht from pierozek. Go to the greenpoint bars, end up at three-decker diner in the middle of the night.
also go to rolo’s and get the polenta flatbread!!!!

Manhattan day trip

I make a solo run to the city every month or so. Usually for a concert, last time was to see Stereophonic (absolutely destroyed me). I find it almost meditative, cathartic to just walk the city without much of a plan aside from the main goal. I think I ate some sort of wrap from a corner store last time. It was a matinee show so I got out and was able to walk until everything ached and I felt better. It always breathes some life back into me after suffering the claustrophobia of home.

MAKE A LIL LIST OF STARTER QUESTIONS, SAVE IT AS A NOTE, PIN IT

here are some of mine
“Is there anything you’re kind of obsessed with lately? Like a book, place, habit, or something random?”
“Have you learned anything bizarre lately? Something that kinda blew your mind?”
“If you could do anything this weekend, no obligations, what would your ideal day or Sunday look like?”
“Has anyone ever told you that you favor a celebrity?”
“If this event had a secret theme, what do you think it would be?”
“Do you ever get told you have ‘a vibe’? Like someone tries to describe you as an era or an aesthetic?”
“What’s a small thing that would instantly make your day better?”
“I wonder if they’re going to make us do icebreakers. What’s the weirdest or most fun one you’ve ever had to do?”

NO ALARMS, WAKE UP WITH LIGHT

get you some app-operated light bulbs and set them to fade on instead of a noise alarm, or wake up with the sunrise.
i remember all my dreams and my circadians are finally in rhythm 🥁 no bad mood mornings for me
