Whenever possible, I try to conduct my business in diners. The ideal backdrop for meetings, dates, fights, parent visits, co-working, break ups, meeting internet friends IRL, dining alone, disassociating after therapy, crying in public. Truly a one-size-fits-all venue

I love diners. I love eating in them, drinking in them, hanging out in them, writing them and even hosting comedy shows in them. Being in a diner really makes you feel like you’re on the set of a movie. I am sad that so many of them continue to close, or are at risk of closing, so I do my best to visit as much as I can. I like 7th Avenue Diner in Park Slope, Triple Decker Restaurant in Greenpoint and Kellogg’s in Williamsburg where me and my friend Johnny host a monthly comedy show.

They don’t want you to know that kids are a better hang than most adults. I was a nanny when I first moved to NYC and still dabble between freelance paychecks. Kids are hilarious, earnest and tell it to you straight. I’m blessed to have many kid cousins in my life. The other day I walked around the city with my teen cousin splitting wire headphones and listening to Gucci Mane. We stopped for treats twice. Perfect afternoon.

Study Bunny is a productivity app for people with severe ADHD who were addicted to Neopets. It’s simply a timer that depicts a bunny studying in a tidy bedroom. If you complete your timed study session you’re rewarded with bunny coins and health points. You can then shop the Study Bunny store with your windfall and buy your hardworking bunny essential items like a cowboy hat or a bathrobe. It is what it is that I cannot accomplish mundane tasks without an anthropomorphic bunny motivating me, but I’ve never been so productive. I’m gonna take her on a shopping spree during tax season.

I do not drink which means I’ve suffered many a cranberry soda. I will order a Shirley Temple from time to time but sometimes you just crave a sophisticated adult beverage. Chinotto is a classy bitter orange Italian soda that doesn’t make me feel like an unaccompanied minor. Think of it as a virgin Campari (a Google search just confirmed chinotto oranges are one of the ingredients in Campari). FYI it’s pronounced KEE-notto which I wish I’d known sooner.
