OK i wanted to brag about this cute date i went on with a cute girl real quick. she got off work at 11pm and we met up in Manhattan at 12am with plans to SKATE. However, all the open/park spaces were closing at that time so we ended up skating from Hudson yards all the way down to china town to this cool bar (sub recco: 169 Bar) where we ordered a tonic water, whisky night cap and made a out a little :))))
here is an approximation of our route. we got to 169 bar at like 3am but that's only cause we stopped to rest several times and got lost in conversation and a little bit of me getting lost in her eyes (☆‿☆ )

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

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!!

my roommate showed me this cool radio show that does a segment "in focus" every week I think. new one drops tomorrow. they choose an artist and go deep dive with really interesting picks and deep cuts. browse the list of artist showcase episodes and pick one you know, or choose someone you don't know! have fun💚

ever close your eyes and feel the present moment so deeply that the spaces between sound become more apparent than individual noises ? it's a reminder that without space, there wouldn't be planets or stars. that we could never be anything without no-thing
