The Coffee Order Culture Corner
Trademark pending.
For this week’s Friday post, I wasn’t sure what I should write about.
It’s been a hard transition back to real life despite the big game I talked last week about being ready to rejoin society. Wednesday had never been humpier. Each morning alarm felt more unfair than the next. The next L train on my morning commute was 20 minutes away on Thursday. Everyone has been feeling it.
One of my main goals this year is to dedicate more of my life to cultural pursuits. I find myself most inspired after seeing a great movie, reading a great book, or listening to a great conversation. I’m very lucky to live in one of the largest culture hubs in the world, basically handing all of these things to me on a silver platter on a daily basis.
I often get asked how I find out about things or how I fit so much into my schedule. I often reply by saying it’s inherent with being single and living alone—I’m footloose and fancy-free 100% of the time. Every evening and weekend is an opportunity to enrich myself in the arts.
To make this worth the while of people who don’t live in New York City, I wanted to also include my favorite movies and shows I’ve seen recently, books I’ve read, or podcasts I’ve listened to if you also have the goal of broadening your horizons. At the bottom, I’ll put my favorite places to visit IRL if you are local.
