I shop late-ish at night, so a 24-hour situation is important to me. This place is in the best neighborhood, and they don’t even jack up their prices. Milk Is $1.99 and a huge tub of pineapple cut up is $4.99. They sell huge water bottles for a dollar. The flowers outside are beautiful, and it’s on Prince Street, and the name is SOHO GARDEN…it sort of glows all pretty on the block at night, too. It’s my favorite place to buy pre-cut fruit in New York City; it’s all in tubs. You dig through the ice with your hands. You have to ask them to wrap up the pineapple, though. It’ll drip everywhere.

Not sure what this corner store is called but its asian owned in a neighborhood that’s becoming less and less so. This rec is a bit less relevant now as the temperature drops but their made-right-there-on-the-spot-watermelon-chunk-and-ice-slushies are an absolute reprieve on a hot summer day. Other fruits are available but the watermelon is the certified classic and the first I had, I’ve never strayed since. As a further cosign, Porches casually mentions the spot within the first few lines of his recent track “Watergetsinside”.

Cash only vibes (they do take card but i feel weird doing it) and the best tuna melt and matzo ball soup of all time. Place has been around for decades and hasn’t changed!!

Grab some paper or cardboard use whatever you have and just make something. Draw, collage, sculpture, video, whatever. Don’t take it too seriously. See how you feel afterwards.

"I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

I spend all day in the office, and since i live in the same building as my office i spend all day inside. I love being in there because I can literally control who i see and who i don’t, but occasionally i get cabin fever and need to go outside. I usually take my bike out. A bicycle is the life hack of NYC. If you don’t have one get a citi bike. ride around the city, put on some headphones. Most relaxing way to get some air and see the city. Late afternoons are the best.
