Robert Moses State Park is open in the winter, and if you go on a weekday you’ll probably have the entire beach to yourself and a few fishermen. Great for a contemplative walk wherein you mull things over spiritually. Towards sunset, can start to feel like you’ve reached the end of the earth and are about the meet God. Bring a blanket, some grapes and your copy of The Power Broker.

it’s not your usual “swimsuits in the sun, taking a dip, naturally drying up, walking in the warm sand, just laying there” visit.
there is no one at the off season seaside, except for you, the cold, harsh wind and the horizon.
the whole beach just for you !

I had been thinking about the fact that i’ve never been to the beach during wintertime and I’d very much love to, so I went on a day trip my dog. I had been feeling kinda blue for various reasons and instead of fuelling my melancholic state, walking on empty beaches with my headphones on and watching my dog run around was one of the biggest mood lifters as of late. I felt pacified in a way which my urban lifestyle would never allow me to. Just trust me and go to the largest body of water near you. It can be truly beautiful!!!

I think some sections are closed this summer so check in advance. The beach is free, go hang out.

The strap of my dress snapped a few years ago and then in minutes I sewed it back on and felt a satisfaction so profound that it had to be Ancient and Just. If you don’t know how to mend it, someone does… COBBLERS are REAL!!!!! I’ve seen them with my eyes and they have re-birthed my shoes like Gods on Earth. Mass consumption has us addicted to buying and discarding but I highly recommend repairing your shit - relationships too! My uncle who doesn’t shut up once told me that “life is all about maintenance” (genius) so I forgave him for being the way that he is!

The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

Peter Capusotto is an Argentinean comedian who was active in the 90’s and 2000’s. Over there he’s very well known. Sometime in the 2000’s he had a sketch comedy radio show, and the sketches he had on that show are really really funny. But it’s all in spanish.
