Hey friends, Earlier this month, I went to a Moth StorySLAM themed “Serendipity” and was reminded both how special it is to hear strangers tell their stories—and how many serendipitous moments in our own lives are worth paying attention to.

Hey friends, I kicked off the week by seeing the queen of neo-soul herself, Olivia Dean, live — which was exactly as dreamy as you’d imagine. I also made it back to Barbuto, where I was reminded that their Insalata di Cavolo is still the only kale salad I will willingly eat.

Hey friends,Big news: I moved to Brooklyn! I promise this won’t suddenly become a BK-only newsletter, though. I’ll still be hunting down events across the boroughs, and this edition even includes a good reason to take the Staten Island Ferry…I celebrated my birthday this past weekend at Sea Witch, which I highly recommend for its strong drinks, but also for the backyard koi pond and resident family of turtles. As for the next two weeks, there’s a Nom Wah brewery takeover, cartooning with a New Y

Hey friends,In case you missed it, Double Chicken Please just opened an ice cream shop serving Dirty Martini soft serve made with vodka and vermouth. Do with that information what you will… Anyway, this roundup is full of the exact kind of random NYC activities I love finding for you: a 528-foot foosball table attempting a Guinness World Record, a boat tour of a former landfill, adult spelling bees, rooftop Pilates, philosophical debates about marriage and therapy, and a place where you can lite
