"The night before, I had a livestreamed show at Mercury Lounge. My friend had flown in for it, from San Antonio, which was really sweet. He runs two restaurants in Texas, so he’s into food."

"He wanted pizza, and I was trying to figure out which pizza place made sense for him. I felt like Two Boots would be a very solid, nice pizza option. Sometimes in Brooklyn, these pizza places get so abstract with their pizza, it really stretches the definition of what pizza even is. Where it’s just crust, hot honey, and Brussels sprouts? It makes you think, philosophically, about what pizza is."

"My friend and I walked down to the water at Domino Park and just caught up, which was really lovely. As we were walking, we encountered a food cart that was giving out free samples of vegan ice cream. It was good. I didn’t even know it was vegan. I’ve had some vegan ice cream before and it’s not all good. This was good. I wish I remembered the name of the cart."

"I went to the record store Captured Tracks in Greenpoint. I’d heard from an employee at a different store that they had revamped their stock recently. When you get a record-store recommendation from somebody who works at a different record store, you’re going to check it out. They were great."

"While I was in Greenpoint, I went to visit Little Tiffin for Thai food. We had a date night."

"When I moved to Brooklyn, the first place I ever got a job was Ovenly, and I had to oversee the Smorgasburg stands on the weekend. When you’re there, you get to know the other food vendors. I got to know the people from the cheese-finishing cave, or the people who do specialty cocktail bitters."

"Then I was off to this place called Steve Maxwell. It’s like the shop in the city for vintage drums. And thankfully it was a six-block walk from there to the rehearsal space. I hate lugging drums, honestly."
