erica’s things

Checking every bodega freezer for this popcorn-y ice cream bar.
Getting to know my Wikipedia editors.
Making sure y’all are bearing witness to the especially good run Humans of New York is having. Exhibits A, B, C, and D!
Calling all Chicagoans: Buy well-in-advance tickets for this, an opera for people only marginally interested in opera (e.g., me).
Blaming this pasta recipe for forcing me to say “umami” seven times during one meal.

Questioning why nobody told me about this extremely good slice shop from a former Misi chef.
Apologizing for the many minutes of your life you’re about to lose to this.
Wanting to alert all my group texts to how rich the latest issue of NYMag is?! Behold: an instructive guide that plays to their strengths, one of the better apartment tours I’ve seen in awhile, and a predictably delightful convo between Parker Posey and Choire Sicha.
Enjoying my annual moment of appreciation for poetry.
