Surreal restaurant/music venue deep in the Berkshire hills with an improvisational, O.G. hippie vibe which transports you deep into a late 60s/early 70s post-Woodstock house party (including the unpredictable quality of the food). N.B.: closed annually for the winter but good luck finding the opening dates. (Also technically not in upstate NY, but a winding hour-long drive is de rigeur for doing most things in this region)

One of my favorite places in New York. Artists doing weird shit for cheap, it’s freaky, it’s inspiring, it’s accessible. Last time I was there I watched a girl sing all of Hamilton naked drinking wine <3

- amazing talented musicians perform live every evening
- delicious and innovative cocktails (second only to Angel's Share in NYC cocktails imo, if i had to rate the whole menu I might even give Lunatico a higher score)
- rotating dessert menu. the chefs have fun with the ingredients
- no cover, suggested donation all goes to the performers
- cute decor, cute crowd, lovely neighborhood vibes
- i usually drop by before the first act of the night, when the dinner crowd is leaving; but if there is something that looks good to you on the current dinner menu, most likely you won't be disappointed

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 🛼🔊😎
