They do them sporadically during matinee hours so check the calendar. Get there early for a good seat! And get coffee n pastries down the street at Arôme before/after.

Every Tuesday through Friday from 12:20 to 12:50 there's a free Bach performance at Grace Cathedral Church on 14th street. They have a really spectacular organ and a rotating program of world class organists. The series began on 9/11/2001 as a meditation for the grieving downtowners, but has since become a staple in the lives of many throughout the city. When I was a shop girl in the East Village I used to go on my lunch break to, as they write on their website, "briefly transcend the ugliness of the world."
I've wept at Bach at Noon, been felt up at Bach at Noon, fallen in love at Bach at Noon, slept at Bach at Noon-- it's one of the most wonderful mainstays in my life.

Also just a rec to go see an orchestra. Went tonight and it’s just so lovely to be amidst music, and see people be so incredibly talented and studied at their craft. A great way to spend a Saturday evening. If you so happen to be in Leicester (lmao) you can get tickets for £10 at De Montfort Hall.

Last night I went to a performance in the cathedral of the Interstellar score played live on the organ. It turns out the person playing the organ was actually Roger Sayer, who recorded the original soundtrack! I found it in a little event listings leaflet that are left in cafes and such, those things are a gold mine.

“Bone broth this” “Liquid IV that” ok well consider: pocari sweat 🤔🧐 the thinking man’s electrolyte beverage. no idea what’s in this shit but tastes great and makes me feel slightly less like shit. Great for if ur like me and find drinking water for survival/regular organ function “boring” and “lacking whimsy”

-Day pass at da sauna. This is my big “u deserve a break” ticket item as it’s expensive. but going back and forth from cold plunge < > sauna fixes me for at least a few days.
-Pastry, specifically at Librae or Radio while in nyc. Anything flaky, really. I’m a raging slut for anything croissant-like or forged from puff pastry.
-Bad tv... speaks for itself… its like a punishment and a reward rolled into one…..
-Books and records I guess. Any physical media shopped-for in person since it’s kinda the experience itself that’s the “treat yourself” rather than just the item
-Taco Bell. Similar to bad tv, this one is something that feels somewhat self destructive so I only let myself have it if I’m already depressed. Like if I already feel bad how much worse could Taco Bell make it? Oh I’ll shit my pants? Ok well maybe then I’ll have something *real* to worry about instead of existentialism or metacognition about the existentialism or whatever useless grievance has me in the doldrums that day.
