New York City 

I love the fusion of community and food Sugar Hill Creamery offers. The story behind the brand and the stories being told at each location provide you with more context about the community you’re living in. I’d recommend ordering the mint ice cream or the non-dairy chocolate ice cream.

If you’re into music and want to go to an OG spot in town, A1 Records is the spot. A lot of DJ legends have frequented the East Village staple. The team that works there is also super helpful and serious about the music. My tip would be to look up at the ceiling and just take your time going through the selection of music.

If you’re into smelling good and looking for a cool NYC experience, then you should definitely check out Kismet located in a basement in lower Manhattan. I love this spot because they have tonnes of essential oils to experiment with if you’re seeking to develop your own fragrance with them. If not, the core fragrances they offer will satisfy you just as much. Kismet’s merch would be a great souvenir to take home to a friend or to keep for yourself.

I like going here on Sundays around 11:30am, 12pm. Browsing the magazines and books then playing a couple rounds of Mancala with my boyfriend while drinking a glass of sparkling tea. The people who work here are super chill and great to talk to as well.
