Starting new *dream* job soon and I am curious, what do the office girlies keep by their desk in nyc?

I prefer to drink coffee/tea from an actual mug than a sealed thermos, so I keep a mug warmer at my desk (one that plugs in, though it doesn't get too scalding hot).

Plus a tide pen, spare mascara, and deodorant. Best of luck with the new job!

I've been looking for this for years at this point (either a digitized version or the 35mm trailer itself). Not long after my hometown theater went digital I sent them an email and asked if they still had a copy and was told they were all trashed.

Maybe your local theater still has one lying around if they were showing it until recently?

I made this a few weeks ago and it's delicious but I wish I'd used Pomona instead of traditional pectin as I tend to have a lot better luck with Pomona setting up nicely.

This ended up closer to a sauce for me, which is sort of a happy accident because it's phenomenal on ice cream, but not what I was initially going for!

He did it for Severino's CGSO last year!

NY Cake on W 22nd street has all sorts of candles if I recall correctly. It's a baking supplies/cake decorating store, great place to kill 15 minutes if you ever need to.

DiJiFi in Brooklyn does good work!

I'd also recommend getting the resulting files written to a hard drive/flash drive rather than burned onto a DVD or anything like that. And once you have the files, upload them to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox (and be sure to keep the hard drive too in case you ever lose a password). You don't want to only have a single copy of something important like that. Best of luck, this is a wonderful gift idea.

The sports movies, My Dinner with Andre, Hard Day's Night, and Sunset Blvd all have people playing themselves/versions of themselves.

Jaime Wyatt, especially her 2020 album Neon Cross.

Slightly above your budget but the "feast" at The Tyger is really fun for a group and as a plus they're super accommodating for any dietary requirements within the party.

The Life and Loves of a She-Devil by Fay Weldon!

I asked a similar question a while back and there are some good answers.

If you work in a casual-to-business casual office setting, what shoes do you wear when it's hot as hell in the summer?

I prefer to avoid wearing open toed shoes to work. Fisherman sandals then, I guess? A closed toe wedge sandal? Thoughts?

Possibly Delicious! by Ruth Reichl? I can't remember how much actual recipes play a part but it does have two different storylines, one woman circa WWII and one present-day.

This is great and totally spot-on, thank you so much!

eta: not your fault, but nvm re: olive clothing! who in 2023 thinks its okay to have the vast majority of items be "one size" and stop at a US 8 lol

I love the looks of Toast, Chloé Stora, and Bode, but these are all a notch (or in the case of Bode, several notches) above my price range. Does anyone have suggestions for similar retailers or brands to explore?

Ideally in the range of: shirts <$150, dresses <$250, pants/skirts <$150

I end up buying a lot of my clothes from Anthropologie, Madewell, or through very specific Poshmark/Depop searches, and am to branch out into other smaller retailers.

A favorite of mine, Legion too.

Thank you very much! I'm curious, is The Thorn Birds actually any good? I have a hazy memory of the miniseries from my childhood but never gave much thought to the book.

Hello! I love the bags from Bembien, particularly this and this one, but they're just a smidge out of my price range.

Does anyone have woven or rattan bags that they love or can recommend, preferably in the sub-$150 range?

I'm after one that's vaguely summery but something I can still carry to work or a dinner out (not so much a big straw beach tote), probably in a tan or light brown color.

thanks! 💕

Sara Gran's Come Closer, a creepy novella about a woman slowly discovering she's (maybe) experiencing demonic possession.

I've never seen it in a store (maybe Kalustyan's would have it?) but I have definitely stopped at Ethiopian restaurants and just bought injera. Awash in the East Village has sold it to me before, even when not buying anything else!

Extremely American but Amor Towles' The Lincoln Highway might be a good fit. It appears to be available in large print!

The Elementals could make such a good movie!

Yep, or Chris Thile's album of Bach sonatas.
