Take a hot double shot of espresso and blend it simultaneously with both ice and sugar using a commercial frother and pour over a few more ice cubes, creating a beautiful, sweet, and surprisingly persistent fine-grained foam resting on top of your delicious chilled beverage. Mainly available in Greece, Albania, and wherever their contemporary diasporas can be found...

If you don’t have a real espresso machine make coffee in a moka pot and pour it over a scoop of your favorite ice cream. I like Trader Joe’s vanilla bean. If you really get wild add a splash of amaretto.

1. Make a frappé. The original Greek kind.
4 tablespoons cold water.
2 teaspoons instant coffee.
A lil bit of sugar.
SHAKE LIKE HELL. Shake until the coffee becomes a fluffy cloud.
Traditionally, you pour this over ice and top with milk and more water.
But I prefer to make iced coffee and pour it over that.
Lately I've used McDonald's iced coffee K-cups and my favorite instant coffee from Walmart. No milk or creamer in this, and it's fuckkng amazing.

The poor man’s affogato, basically the same thing as cream and sugar but more efficient and decadent💅🏼

Finally saw this for the first time (on 35mm thxx Prince Charles Cinema) and wow. Jonathan Glazer and co-writer Jean-Claude Carrière spending all of pre-production re-writing the script without informing the studio… DP Harris Savides pushing the boundaries of underexposed film and getting the craziest deepest browns and purples out of Kodak stock… Alexandre Desplat starting with what seems like a very polite classical score and then gradually bringing in heavy synth bass… and of course Nicole Kidman throwing herself headlong into an insane role (and apparently bullying the producers for more $$$ when they finished under budget)

Because of the extensive tradition of pirate radio in the UK (from Radio Caroline on down), London probably has the most insane landscape of 24/7 internet radio in the world. I've tried to rank these in terms of approximate popularity ranging from NTS (as mentioned) on down to purely DIY weekend-only amateur collectives like LWSTD. If you don't know the stations in your city, just have a quick google and do some Instagram "Following" list exploration and it should be pretty easy to find more (e.g. in Amsterdam check out Echobox, Radio Tempo Não Pára, RRFM, etc...)

The less you read about it (or look at maps) the better. Just enter via Haight Street, turn your phone off and wander 'til you reach the ocean. If you go on a Sunday afternoon and you didn't already come across it, proceed to turn your phone back on and track back to the 6th Avenue Skate Park to check out the roller disco party 🛼🔊😎
