RHODORA - FT GREENE

Another Brooklyn best! A night ping-ponging between Prima & Rhodora ain’t half bad. Closest thing to Cheers i’ve ever experienced: a special place with friends who always know your name. Incredible wine selection too! Some of favorite chefs (Tecla Esposito, Kia Damron, Angela Dimayuga etc) have all done pop-ups there. Perf place 2 be!

Corto

Corto is a coffee shop in Bed-Stuy and my go to if I’m in the area. I do a lot of work there and they now stay open a little later and started serving wine and “small bites”. They have the best Fococcia I’ve ever had in my life and subsequently some of the best sandwiches. Fair warning - it is $15 bucks for something that will not fill you up - but it’s totally worth it. Their backyard is perfect and isn't one of those places that has the annoying ass “NO LAPTOPS ALLOWED” sign at the front. (Ok they do have it but that’s just for weekends)

MICKEY ROURKE

Honorable mention. If you’ve hung out with me the past year or so, he’s my favorite topic. A fellow virgo, my acting inspiration and exercise guru lol In all sincerity, I find his work groundbreaking at times. The quintessential post-Pacino, James Dean renaissance leading man/character actor of his time. Do yaself a favor, Go watch Pope of Greenwich Village (1985) , Barfly (1987) and soak it in. I think they are both free on Y*utube 👀

V-NAM CAFE - NOHO

my rock, my day one. By far my favorite Vietnamese in the city. It’s right next to Lucien, so if you don’t have Lucien $$$, it’s the best option for the people. Michelin Star Bahn Mi’s and those aren’t even the star of the menu! Please treat this place as you would any prized possession. ⚔️
