My friends are often surprised to find out that cannoli are one of my favorite desserts. In their defense, I talk about ice cream far more frequently. Still, I'm always on the lookout for cannoli when eating at Italian resturants and am often left disappointed. I had some fantastic cannoli…
I know that last time I promised I'd review something not in Queens on the 7, but the place I had planned to review was out of the specific tea I like, so I'll review it another time. This week we visited Möge Tee (with the umlaut) in Long Island…
I've tried Chun Yang Tea once before, but that was nearly two years ago, so this was basically a fresh start. It's right next to the Vernon-Jackson 7 station, at 49-10 Vernon Blvd. I'll try to make this my last boba shop along the 7 in Queens for a while.…
This week I tried Bobba Hubba for the first time. It's across the street from the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue station, so it's reachable by the 7, E, F, M, and R trains, plus the Q70 SBS if you're itching for boba right after landing at LGA (or right before you…
To kick off Boba Quest 2025 🧋, I'm reviewing I'Milky — my go-to in Long Island City (Queens). It's at 22-43 Jackson Ave., right next to Trader Joes and reachable by the 7, E, M and G trains via the Court Square station. It's incredibly small, there's just barely enough…
I'm a big fan of boba aka bubble tea aka pearl milk tea aka tapioca. Aside from it tasting good, I enjoy all the different varieties and unique combinations you can get depending on where you go. Unsurpringly New York City has a pretty rich boba scene, especially in the…
When Taylor Swift's Midnights came out, I had the extremely controversial opinion that Carly Rae Jepsen's The Loneliest Time (released on the same day) was better. So when Parker told me she was coming to New York City (greatest city in the world, btw), I leapt at the opportunity and…
The first time I heard the song Welcome to New York, my reaction was something along the lines of "Eh, decent song, except she's wrong. West Coast Best Coast." I would like to formally apologize to Taylor Swift for doubting her and state for the record that she was absolutely…

This weekend I walked the entire ~6mi Central Park loop, which was easily the single longest physical activity I've done since the pandemic started (not counting the days I walked 10mi+ while apartment shopping).
apartment hunting in NYC is like:mental health: broken, destroyed, burned outphysical health: over the past 3 days I've walked 10, 10 and 7 miles respectively. An entire marathon!!
Self-care tip from #ACLU100 in NYC: "Every night, go online to Facebook, and unfriend people on their birthday. Very therapeutic."
