The only place you’ll catch me drinking vodka. One time i went alone in the late afternoon for a crepe and a martini after a day wandering around the city. I’d done the thing where I went to Le Labo to spray a little something on myself before continuing on to Anyway. When I got there, the waitress said i smelled like her late husband and she comped my whole check. I’ll never forget that.

I had been wanting to go to this cafe in Greenwich Village for 6 months & I finally went for the first time a couple of weeks ago with a friend who visited. We drank champagne from a hydro flask on the train there and shared a tiramisu at 1 in the morning (it closes at 3) and it was perfect. New York feels the most fun when taking advantage of things being open so late.

I just finished a short tour for my first book coming out in Spain, so that’s probably why I’m obsessed with the general Spanish lifestyle. Literally what could be better than sitting at one of these white-tiled little bars in late morning or late afternoon and having a little glass of vermouth and a toothpick with an olive, spicy pepper, and anchovy? The point isn’t to stay all day; no one is working on their laptop. It’s to spend the perfect half an hour, maybe adding a plate of patatas bravas and a cortado to help you stagger on with your day. (I also assume this is why everyone in Barcelona is always smoking: how else do you recalibrate your body chemistry after the various snacks, booze, and caffeine?)

I swear by these capsules. They’re intense—you take 3 every 3 hours when you’re not feeling tip top. I always have them in my apartment and definitely when I’m on tour. I love to dole them out to my friends like a pharmacist. They will keep you healthy

i love looking into someone’s fridge and seeing batteries where the butter is. reasonable, eccentric and elderly. I’ve been without my bluetooth speaker for some time now so I’ve been exclusively using my battery powered cd player while I do busywork. my 3 cds in (now months) rotation are Ivy’s apartment life, The Prodigy’s fat of the land, and Depeche Mode’s ultra. i’m also currently looking for a few battery powered sconces so i can have light in various places but with no wires.

perhaps it’s overdone to say someone lived “unapologetically” but he really did. This is my favorite autobiography of one of my favorite stars. He was glamorous, extremely smart, funny and talented—Both as a musician and as a reality star during his Big Brother years in the early 00s. The whole book is extremely entertaining and the way he goes in on industry censorship—most glaringly surrounding his gender expression—as well as the blurriness of boundaries in gay mentorship as a young person in the 70s is really compelling. I really connect to it every time I’ve read it (a few times.) Gwen Stefani has been looking a lot like 90s Pete lately and it makes me smile.
