Things To Do
Four & Twenty Blackbirds
Did we partially choose our apartment because of its proximity to this pie? You betcha.
See a Broadway Show (please god our industry is dying)
We have no idea what will be on Broadway at this point, but, we'll give you recs closer to the day. If Merrily's still running, definitely Merrily. There's probably going to be an Ivo van Hove and we cannot stress enough how much you should avoid that show. Unless you're really into wolves or the Dutch.
Reyes Deli & Grocery
Best tacos in Brooklyn.
Relive A.J.'s College Experience!
Go to Washington Square Park, find the nearest bench, and cry. Like BIG, DEEP, UNTAPPED tears from a time primordial and sludgy. Go grab a sub at Brad's, a restaurant that no longer exists because they found toenails in the sandwiches. A.J. consumed a LOT of these sandwiches (and perhaps several toenails). Then, set $250,000 on fire.
