I like to take long walks, typically in the park. I live in Brooklyn, New York and I like to walk around Prospect Park. At the south end of the park there's a little area with a couple of benches in it, like a little sanctuary and I like to go over there to sit on the bench and watch all the different birds out in the pond. I like to go there in all different kinds of weather and see how it changes throughout the year. I just really get a kick out of nature and it actually can be pretty quiet there sometimes, which is hard to find in New York City.

In virtually any weather at any speed walking from downtown to midtown is one of my favorite activities. If you are bored it’s just a really nice activity to do by yourself or with a friend. It's really meditative, you see neighborhoods change and can look at all these different things on the way. There are some fun places to stop on the way, like Kaluystayans and Dover Street Market or the Morgan Library. Once I arrive in midtown I like going to the Paris Theater, The Grill, or Ice skating in central park. MoMA can be fun too.

Oh my God, this guy Henry Taylor, I saw that exhibit at the Whitney. I took everyone I knew to go see the exhibit. I must have seen it seven or eight times. This guy is the most brilliant painter I have seen in a long, long time. I actually got the coffee table book. I never get the coffee table book. He just moved me to tears. He did a painting of Philando Castile getting shot that's one of the most powerful works of visual art I've ever seen in my life from many time period ever. So I recommend Henry Taylor and The Whitney Museum and general because I think you'll always find something interesting there.

I'm a big fan of quiet. I like quiet and silence. I saw a movie once a long time ago. It's called Into Great Silence and it's a documentary about monks in this monastery and it's quite long actually but there's no dialogue in it. The whole movie is watching these monks and it made a huge impression on me.

I'm not a vegan, but I do care about the environment very much and it's been brought to my attention by some of my vegan friends that if you claim to be an environmentalist and you eat meat then you're a hypocrite, which which makes me feel guilty so I haven't sworn off meat entirely, but I am a fan of having meatless meals at the very least if and when you can. or just trying to eat less meat in general, because I do think they have a point. So all that’s to say I'm going to recommend falafel. I'm a big fan of falafel right now. you can find it at least in New York City, you can find lots of different high end falafel situations. I like to try different places. It's like a hush puppy but better, I guess it's ostensibly healthy for you.
