My scouted go-to recs, curated just for you. They must be in good taste if I’m sharing them with you!!!

May was a whirlwind; sorry how is it June?! My apologies for the slight delay on this one! I hope spring is treating you oh-so-good and you are enjoying the yummy weather.


first order of business…consider becoming a ~paid subscriber~ for less than a coffee (actually half a NYC coffee, let’s be so honest) a month!! & in return, you will get access to all past newsletters and weekly reviews of everywhere I visit. x


to spend time

I am a big fan of a patch of grass, which is slightly juxtaposed where I have chosen to live (or so I’ve been told). So when I do find a nice green patch, I can stick my toes in…. well, I am a frequent visitor along with my book. Down near the promenade in Brooklyn has been my favorite spot lately. It’s much calmer than the parks in Manhattan and I love walking along the water before or after. Bring your book and stay a while!!!


Cafes/to WFH

Noka — This spot has quickly become my favorite cafe, I trek to Cobble Hill weekly and have told all my friends about it. The interiors are airy and inviting, and it is clearly a beloved neighborhood spot for working or chatting or sitting and reading, which can be hard to come by. WFH approved!


for dinner
