I have been to Florida with my family recently and picked this up in a local bookshop: deeply personal and somehow also a sort of documentary, a portrait of a place.
Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!
I know it's soup season, but I loved making and sharing a dish that feels fresh and vaguely summery. NYT Cooking Recipe is linked, but i'm happy to share screenshots.
The first movie of Justine Triet, who directed Anatomy of a Fall, is a chaotic investigation of the line between scripted and caught, between truth and fiction, between recollection and notes. Lots of baby's (and adults') screams.
