Quintessential NYC spring day; sit on a bench in the park, listen to jazz, people watch everyone taking photos of the tulips, cherry blossoms and trees in bloom, enjoying the day.
i always try to tip the bands bc they add so much to the atmosphere!!!

Manyyyy good recs have been made already, but here are a few that I feel strongly about:
Coffee:
-SEY Coffee is the best in the city by far. Incredible pour overs and espresso. I used to go there every day when I lived in Bushwick.
-For a true old school cup, Porto Rico is great. The one on Bleecker has been there since 1958 and is great. No place to sit inside however.
Pool:
-Amsterdam Billards is the stand-by billiard hall! a little pricey but I like it
Dayspa:
- (Cheap) Wall Street Bath & Spa
- (Not-Cheap) Bathhouse in Williamsburg
Parks + Cemeteries (besides the glorious Central Park):
-Madison Square Park is great for a classic NY-feel. Go to S&P Lunch for sandwiches and eat in the park on a nicer day.
-In Brooklyn both McCarren Park and McGolrick Park are great - Ray's and Twins Lounge are nearby for drinks as well.
-Green-wood Cemetery is sprawling and scenic.
-Avoid Maria Hernandez Park at all costs.

recently had to pause therapy bc my provider decided to go private pay and charge me $200/session. recording myself venting is basically like talking to my reflection, and then i can listen back and decide if i’m insane. plus i can even disclose the embarrassing things that i’d never tell my therapist. oh and it’s $0

5 mins in he took a piss in the street, got to the bar to meet my friend and her bf and we immediately noticed he was acting weird, he wasn’t making any sense, kept getting up to go to the bathroom, eventually realized he fell asleep at the table mid convo. ditched him and woke up the next morning to a pic of him on his story with his chin busted open because he slammed his face into a curb
