spent tonight’s sunset with actual human beings on a rooftop (6 feet apart), sharing red wine and throwing a stick for the dogs. at 7pm, the WHOLE neighborhood erupted from every corner to cheer, clap, and whistle for our essential workforce, the most underpaid individuals who risk their lives every day to give us the goods. afterwards I was sent home with a joint and some homemade soup, feeling a little less alone than I did before. #brooklyn #nyc #socialdistance #sunset https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QfotHHK65/?igshid=18oowr4zrsah2

this journey began under a powdered sugar mountain, and it’s our last pleasure before a long, long, delayed, long, long-delayed flight home. I miss the chicory, praline, and beignets already. ☕️ #cafedumonde #beignets #nola #neworleans (at Café Du Monde) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CjDM7HD-v/?igshid=1423wqvs20f58
