The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donβt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. Itβs my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts playβ¦ What else could you ask for?Β

working in publishing means I use my discount to get everyone books as birthday/holiday gifts, and turns out it is SO fun selecting books for everyone based on their interests and loves and reading habits!! I think even without a discount this is a fun way to keep gift prices low without losing a personal touch π©·

they make breakfast fun π I prefer the patties to those big bags of loose potato shavings. 1 patty fits perfectly on a piece of toast. add some garlic powder in the pan. I donβt even want to know what kinds of oils and chemicals are in them to make them so good. do not tell me!!

My fave cartoonist. I love so many cartoonists dearly but his books are what pushed me to dive into the genre as an adult. Personal faves are Leaving Richards Valley, Sticks Angelica, and Brat. He writes such distinct characters, the way he draws is so inventive, and every book of his is a perfect sad/funny/often-dystopian combo.
