revisited this on an earlier stretch of the northeast corridor... i recommend listening to math rock in transit. there is something about the internetted and regular rhythms that when cumulative over the course of a song/album will lead to the listener being moved and âopenedâ. it is maybe the closest music feels to pure information. love it in tandem with transit-windowed visual information, sound and image feel âencodedâ in 2 simultaneous and meaningful streams. while listening today i thought the words âsleepy bloomâ about how it felt coming into my brain

If youâre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donât! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itâs worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it downâŠ
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if youâre a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museumâs section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however đ

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnât exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itâs even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

this is a totally inward and wordless thing i find myself doing on transit (in periods when i am confused about myself). An anticipatory heterosexual practice and preparatory exercise in terms of returning to new york. where there is daily opportunity for this. I am recommending this while in the bus bathroom which is a mobile and speckled portapotty essentially. This âpasses the timeâ

you can see on one side the sunset in one large beautiful glow backing the city image , and on the other side you can also see the apposite roseate light in lozenges against the beams of the bridge. looking back and forth is pleasant, and easy if seated perpendicular to the walls of the train. and soon after getting off the train to meet adrian in chinatown you will no longer remember seeing this and being happy until the next morning when on the N train slightly post-sunrise reforming the association from a similar experience on the same bridge

Delicious burritos and tortas, also there are juices
I recommend the brisket burrito
It is very beautiful inside, no 2d image can capture the optical lushness and scale of the real environment but here is a photograph that conveys at least partial representation of the colors and menu density (the entire restaurant looks like this)
