All the goods sold here are made in New York State. Many, even closer. I stopped in today and got some delicious Cherry jam, a candle, and Caroline’s guidebook to shopping local in New York City: it’s fun to read, packed full of great recommendations, and other cute little surprises.

This is one of NY’s best kept secrets and I’m a little hesitant to publicly reveal it, but it is a real gem. My friends and I have been really invested in canned fish as of recently and this is the best place to buy quality caviar at a discounted price. It’s deep in Brooklyn on Ave X near Sheepshead Bay, but well worth the trip. If you make it out there, be sure to stop off at Lucia Pizza a block away and get the clam pie on Fridays.

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“
This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will.
heres some of what I have so far:
- Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company.
- Strawberry jam
- feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently.
- A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love
- Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie
- Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk
- lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts
- small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
