it's spring. there are some good parks in brooklyn. walk over, get some fresh air, find some cafe, get a bite on your way back, or maybe pick up like one ingredient to make dinner with, something like that.
if you wander by some bowling alley or arcade or karaoke club, pop in. Personally, my goal there would be to have a fun time with strangers, but you could just do your own thing.
if you're in manhattan, go up to the bar on the roof of some hotel, don't even bother getting a drink, just appreciate their view. or get a drink, they're expensive but often tasty.
wander. the city is dense and walkable.

NYC is more than just Manhattan!!!!!!!!! Go to queens and get south Asian and Central American food in Jackson heights, and keep trucking along the 7 and get Chinese food in flushing. Go to Astoria and get Greek or Brazilian or Egyptian food and walk to Long island city and enjoy the views and go to one of several museums there.
Go to crown heights in Brooklyn and eat Caribbean food. Go to prospect park and see a park that’s not Central Park too. Go to bushwick and thrift and get tacos at nenes.
Go to the Bronx and go to THAT little Italy and eat a PHAT sandwich. Go to the Bronx botanical gardens bc they’re beautiful.
Even go to Staten Island and get Sri Lankan food at lakruwama and get Italian ice at Ralph’s and pretend you’re a 4th gen Italian with chest hair and a chain just because you can.
This city is truly so big, so explore it and see all it has to offer!

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
