i visited a friend and she suggested we get a slice of cake from her favorite bakery, and it felt incredibly cool in an aspirational ina or martha way.
i think this should be somewhat mom and pop, and wow wouldnât it be great if it were your little secret youâre sharing. i guess iâm saying no milk bar. would actually be more impressed with a really good grocery store cake, such as the attached safeway red velvet that is only good in slice form and not the whole cake because itâs made differently despite what multiple bakers have said.
i havenât actually landed on my favorite local cake, but itâs absolutely a goal and would be such a good look.
all that said⊠if you have a favorite cake please share

If youâre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donât! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itâs worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it downâŠ
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if youâre a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museumâs section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however đ

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnât exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itâs even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

sit in a circle, everyone has a piece of paper (and maybe everyone has a pen, or one pen that gets passed, and a surface to write on).
the first person starts by writing a prompt - it can be simple, eg the name of a famous person, or a simple action, eg pumping gas, or it can be complicated, eg a famous person pumping gas and downing 5 fireball shots and vaping.
they hand their piece of paper with the prompt to the person on their left, who then has to draw the prompt. they hand their drawing to the person on their left, who has to write down what they see.
this repeats until it gets back to the person who wrote the original prompt, who reveals what they wrote and shows the group how itâs changed around the circle.
itâs best with 6+ people, and great for all ages (as long as they can read and draw).
one time i was playing with a group of my cousins and one cousin wrote âwhy am i here?â and we all had to go around and write then draw âwhy is (x) here?â and we all knew what it was because it was clear she didnât really know or like us. we kept making her play games with us until she liked us more and 15 years later weâre going to her wedding this week so letâs just say this game changes lives and brings families closer?

might be old news but canât overstate how much this makes me feel calmer and more organized. instead of having stuff/decor/pill bottles/trash all over the table, throw a tray on there and push all that stuff on the tray it will feel so much less cluttered and fancy.
can be cheap! can be an old serving platter! bonus points if it contrasts with the surface nicely.
