I can’t recommend it enough tbh. I went in there to return a few I had rented last week and got to spend 10 minutes lost in the shelves, just searching through films. There is such a great feeling of comfort I get by being surrounded by so many physical reproductions of the medium I love so mucchhh. It’s like my version of a museum.

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!!

classical art museums can be so boring sometimes.... especially when you don't know the context or what to look for visually!
I came up with a game that I play with my friends when we go to classical art museums with a lot of portraits. Smash or Pass (museum edition), its pretty self explanatory, just walk through the portraiture section and decide wether you want to smash or pass the people in the portraits. It's extra fun if you create backstories for the people and decide based on the full story you've come up with.
Can also be played in the non portraiture section by personifying the non-people paintings and giving them human personalities and features based on the vibe that you get from the painting (or the feeling it evokes in you).
++ extra museum tip that I've found is: don't ever try to go through an entire museum in one day (unless its a small museum). Consuming so much information within one space is way too tiring for the brain and often makes the information you consumed much less memorable.

I was sitting in Washington Square Park a few evenings ago when I saw young people visibly dressed in clothes from my cultural/religious community. I started googling centers in the area and realised they must be going to the only one close by on the map. I signed up for an event and I went there today!
I left crying crocodile tears…
It was the first time I ever felt really seen and understood by this community that I’ve been struggling to fit into my whole life. The first time I didn’t feel judged for all parts of myself, parts that I usually hide.
anyways, if I wasnt people watching in the park and if I didn’t let my people watching curiosity lead me to where I went, I wouldn’t have felt this incredible grateful joy I feel today!
pay attention to what the world is showing you 🫶
