Fun things I was told on my first visit to City Island in NYC: people who were born and raised there are called Clam Diggers, and the transplants who’ve moved there are called Mussel Suckers. What a quirky and wonderful unexplored part of the city! 10/10 recommend!

I competed this weekend in my first “home chef” contest and came in second place! With a roasted tomato polenta tart that had some whipped ricotta and toasted pine nuts on it!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

So enjoyed checking out Luna Luna at The Shed. What an amazing treat to experience and see how Keith Haring, Basquiat, Andre Heller, Kenny Scharf, Lichtenstein and so many others came together to pull off an amusement park made of art in the 1980s. 💚 #lunaluna #keithharing #theshed #nyc
