date ideas, nyc

i am in love with nyc - the adventure and thrill, the fleeting moments of genuine connection with strangers, the collision of worlds, the way you could start the night at a Michelin star restaurant and end it in a dive bar.

i love decadence and i believe it can exist in many forms. my favorite connections balance both worlds - Michelin star restaurants, late night empanadas in LES, diner coffee and pie (I love pie), the speakeasy with the waitlist, digging thru the used cds at Bookoff, the French bedrooms at the Met, showing me your favorite spots, asking for mine, courtside, front row, dive bar, nosebleeds. I’ve seen the world from many angles - Each view has its charm. The adventure is the point.

the energy of nyc is electric. people work hard and play hard here. it’s a seductive, infectious energy, and i love to be a guide and a guest equally. every experience is a space for curiosity and a thrill. the world looks new and feels brighter and deeper when we’re running around together. Never underestimate the healing power of having an insane amount of fun.
