Do you have any fun plans for today? I’ve been busy settling in to my new apartment in New York – it was a very hot weekend when I first arrived thanks to a heatwave and lack of air conditioning in my apartment but I’m very happy to report that an AC unit was hunted down and installed on Sunday evening and life’s been a lot better ever since.

Instead of going down the shore with friends or home to visit my family, I’ve decided to stick around the city and lay low this weekend, using the extra long weekend to unpack once my movers arrive and get things organized around the apartment. New York life has been so much fun already and while my new apartment is a little bit smaller than the space I had in San Francisco, there’s so much potential here and I’m excited to see it come together.

In between unpacking, trips to the Container Store and building furniture, I’m planning on doing some exploring around my new neighborhood and I’d love to hear any of your recommendations for things to do, see and eat in the West Village.

Happy 4th! May your day be filled with BBQ, beer and fireworks 🇺🇸
