Here’s a great tribute to New York City as it suffers through the coronavirus.
We are tough but we are tender, and we fucking love our city though it feels impossible sometimes.
Also, as a musician, it was encouraging to hear her say “This took me a whole day to learn.” 🤷🏻♂️
Here’s a fun idea for a trip…
Why not go see some famous recording studios?
Here’s a top 10 list of famous studios worldwide, but you can add any studio you want. I’d see Zep’s Bron-Yr-Aur or Sunset Sound Studio, or U2’s Windmill Lane Studio.
Cool-looking German restaurant for next time I’m in New York City.
Next time you’re in NYC, why not go see an opera? The tickets are surprisingly affordable (from $30). And even if you’re not an opera fan, this is a unique and interesting experience.
👉 The Metropolitan Opera (NYC)
Funnily enough, this tip came as a recommendation from Andy Ihnatko on a tech podcast. Listen in at this spot for more inspiration about the opera. 🤷🏻♂️

The McKittrick Hotel in the Chelsea neighborhood of in New York City is not actually a hotel (as far as I can tell). It’s more of a bizarre collection of venues and edgy entertainment.
Their about page sets the tone…
Completed in 1939, The McKittrick Hotel was intended to be New York City’s finest and most decadent luxury hotel of its time. Six weeks before opening, and two days after the outbreak of World War II, the legendary hotel was condemned and left locked, permanently sealed from the public. Until now…
This “hotel” features the creepy and insanely immersive Sleep No More, a bar on the roof, a bar in the basement, magic shows, cabaret, anything weird and especially 1930’s-themed.
This may be the weirdest and most fun place in NYC (that I know of). I’m definitely going back if I ever get the chance.
New York City’s (and the world’s) largest and most excellent train station has some sekrits.
