A once- favoured first date spot which I overused and now only go to alone, either to smoke furiously in the yard if in a mood about something, or to watch Jeopardy at the bar with the bartender and other strays

First time trying a spot a couple blocks from me and wow it won’t be the last. Especially funny that I fled my usual spot for noise/bad music and ended up somewhere so delectable.

they just don’t open bars like anchovies anymore. it‘s narrow and dark inside. the stools are uncomfortable and wooden booths are tight. The drinks are stiff and priced to sell. Staff is charismatic but takes no shit. Clientele is regular and diverse. Kitchen is open LATE which is impossibly rare in boston. The only place i go to drown my sorrows in cheap beer and chicken parm.

I’m a huge advocate of crossing a bridge every day by foot. When I’m depressed I can’t do anything much, can’t do a proper work out or cook a meal or read or write, but I can always manage to cross a bridge. In London this means walking from my place in South East into town across Waterloo Bridge to go to therapy or the library, and in New York I like going from Clinton Hill across the Manhattan Bridge, usually just to go into Lovely Day thai cafe and eat something and turn right back around. Better than nothing!!

I met Daniel in the first days of February in The Library on Avenue A and within a few hours knew he would be in my life until I die, if I have any say in the matter. Not for about twenty years have I met a human being I instantly knew would be a best friend, and it’s been a humbling joyous experience I can barely describe. He and I have no off button, and the only downside of our union is that every time we hang out we do not go to bed until 6am because there is just so much to discuss. Strongly recommend befriending Daniel if you have the chance, I laugh aloud with pure jubilance every time I lay eyes on this guy.

This is a debut novel by a hugely talented Irish writer about a teenage girl in 1960s New York who ends up working in Warhol’s Factory, transcribing taped conversations destined to be collated into an experimental novel. It’s weird and wild and extremely funny and sad, perfect for anyone used to wandering around a glamorous city feeling like a lumpen freak.
