Crazy that it's been almost 10 years since Allison Williams wore this to the Met Gala and someone tweeted it with the caption "San Diego bridesmaid." i will never forget it

been in Los Angeles for 8 days, had a guy at a bar tell me about his script — "The Godfather…but Jewish," Facetimed my sister from Erewhon because she watches videos on the internet of people shopping there for fun, and a music producer told me that Seal texted him "hey it's 🦭”

spent 9 days in Italy where I learned about the concept of pasta fredda — instead of cooking vegetables for pasta, you coat them in red wine vinegar + oil and let them break down for a few hours. in conclusion, we stan harder than ever before.

Mixing grandma’s German ornaments with my martini and a head of garlic 🎄

We’ll do a bowl of cigarettes for the table

seeing a screening of Moonstruck in the East Village and a Gen Z sweetheart in her concession stand uniform told me that their computers were down and so all drinks and popcorn would be free, what could she get me? there is so much pain in the world but not in this room.

another meeting of Maryellen's Movie Club, where I have friends over to watch my favorite movies and eat dinner inspired by the movie. This week we did Tár with bratwurst that I boiled in 24 ounces of pilsner before pan-searing. And I announced that lesbian in German is "Lesbe."

got LASIK surgery and now I can read the karaoke lyrics on the screen at Montero's perfectly, got some good goss spotting a mutual not wearing their wedding ring, and from a block away on the UES I thought, "No. Is it?" It was. Known child actor Leelee Sobieski. Worth every penny

went to Zabar's for bagels & lox for my film club, where we watch movies & eat food inspired by the movie. This month is Rosemary's Baby. Someone in the bakery found me at the fish counter and said, "We got fresh everythings 3 minutes ago. Gimme those. Take these." honey i'm home

cheered the elite runners on Marathon Sunday, had the Platonic ideal of a martini at The Odeon and paid for it with a check I got from a class action lawsuit, and Christopher Meloni stared back at me on a West Village sidewalk like, "damn RIGHT it's me." cue the mf Gershwin, baby

Great anecdote in this NYMag piece about the nostalgia of department stores

I've had an eBay store for 14 years and have sold 1016 items from my closet and I'm shocked that it took this long for someone to message me, "Hi. has this bodysuit been worn?" and I said no, and they replied, "..….............could.......it be worn?" ABC baby, always be closing

A chorus of car horns erupted on Nostrand just now because the godfather of my old bodega jumped out of his SUV in the middle of traffic to give me a hug. He once loaned me $150 in the dead of night for a 24/7 locksmith when I got locked out of my apt. in the arms of an angel fr.

turned my oven on in a heatwave to make one of my favorite fleeting summer recipes - Melissa Clark’s Chicken Thighs with Sour Cherries and Cucumber Yogurt. Das my girl

walked into Borgo with no wait, they have ravioli with sungolds on the menu rn, the maître d’ and i realized we'd met at party last summer so the kitchen sent over all this free shit, then a tertiary character on Succession was seated directly in my eyeline. #neverkillyourself

NYT Cooking's Melon Salad With Nectarines, Tomatoes and Basil. I hand-shaved ribbons of Pecorino Toscano so thin they basically liquefied on the tongue and mellowed the onions’ bite by soaking them in a bath of ice water. 365 party girl
