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!!

late evening, early morning, even 1:12pm.... just stand there with your fingers in the chainlink fence for a little while, look at all those cars go-- where are the heading off to? everything you could want is right here, at the walking bridge freeway overpass

Surface streets make me feel connected & engaged. It is worth the extra 10 minutes if it means I can hear what the person in the car next to me is listening to at a red light and watch people cross the street/see what everyone is up to. I learn so much

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

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.
