Pick a place with a claw foot tub and a small, kitschy bar. Bring edibles and a journal.

* eat soup dumplings in a random chinatown spot that you do not read about on the internet. or go to flushing. either way.
* go to alfargo's marketplace, if you're here at the right time
* eat pizza, obviously.
* I like the karaoke cave for karaoke
* eat an everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, red onion, and capers. *DO NOT ASK ANYBODY TO TOAST A BAGEL*. A bagel should be eaten fresh, and the interior should be soft, not toasted at all.
* enter broadway lotteries. If you win a ticket, it's not touristy. if you pay full price, it's a little bit touristy.
* if you like whiskey, visit the brandy library. maybe you're not coming to America for whiskey, but the ambiance is half the selling point. (there are many other great whiskey bars in the city).

Go down to Brick Lane on Saturday or Sunday for the vintage market, itâs huge! Skip hotel breakfast and get a bagel from Beigel Bake while youâre there
Camden Market is where everyone goes. Thereâs lots of cute stalls and plenty of indie stores between the tourist traps. Try to go during the week because it can get overwhelming with people
Take advantage of the free (yes 100% free) museums!
V&A is a must, especially the costume wing
National Gallery/National Portrait Gallery is also nice
Also, cannot emphasize enough to only eat ethnic food while youâre there and eat as much as you can
Dishoom (if you canât get a dinner res just stand in line for lunch) is still a top 3 meal of all time for me
Try and get a res at Darjeeling Express! Chef Asma Kahn and her all-women run kitchen were featured on Chefs Table if you want to get to know her and the restaurant better and cry so much
Zima is a v cute Russian spot in SoHo with cafe vibes and cool art
If youâre a garlic girlie, Garlic and Shots is right around the corner and has, yes, so many different shots you can take and so much good bar food with garlic
Thereâs also a casual Sri Lankan food place called Hoppers on the same block
Seriously, forget about going out of your way for British food. Youâll be disappointed every time
If you ever want to get out of SoHo, walking is so rewarding and thereâs a ton a cute things to see. Also, the train is super easy (you can just use your phone to tap in and out now) if you want to explore other neighborhoods further out

You finally get to peel away most of your layers. The spring breeze is a soft caress against your cheek and you suddenly feel like you can do anything.

17 seconds of compassion
17 seconds of peace
17 seconds to remember love is the energy
Behind which all is created
17 seconds to remember all that is good
17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain
17 seconds of faith
17 seconds to trust you again
17 seconds of radiance
17 seconds to send a prayer up
17 seconds is all you really need
This is the poem that was included in the liner notes for this song. The song is an instrumental thatâs literally 17 seconds long and I feel that the whole album needs to be listened to in order to fully take this last song in. Adore is about loss (the loss of a mother, the loss of a lover, the loss of friends and collaborators) and the process of carrying on. Corgan says in his poem that â17 seconds is all you really needâ to find that peace after loss, but is it really? What if more time is needed? 17 seconds is short. This song is short. The abrupt end is too jarring. Abrupt endings in life are too painful and it leaves you thinking, âWhat now?â Well, 17 seconds is all youâre going to get because life moves on. Shit hurts, but you have to move. on.
