No. 09: Yours Truly
Bunny, Henry Taylor's B Side, Kennedy Magazine, A Separation, and a thought
Home sweet(ish) home in LA from NY. Some loves of late –
I. a cozy restaurant
Last weekend I went back to Bunny in Bedstuy. It’s a family-owned Turkish / German restaurant where the menu is always different but the fresh bread always comes a paper lunchbag to keep it piping hot. The owners and bartenders were sitting at a corner table enjoying a glass of wine with the neighborhood usuals by the end of the night, this made me so happy. (DM on instagram only for res.)
II. a reeeally good show
If you didn’t go to Henry Taylor’s show B Side at The Whitney on one of the past 4 rainy saturdays in a row.. you’re crazy!! It’s seriously incredible. In Taylor’s piece Before Gerhard Richter There Was Cassi (2017), Gerhard Richter’s Betty (1988) becomes Cassi in the most beautiful of ways.
III. a moment
I love this august moment in Amorgos by Chris Kontol (photographer & editor of Kennedy Magazine – a bi-annual journal that is so thoughtful and beautiful). It’s funny how the ritual of having a coffee in the summer vs. fall can feel so different…
IV. a film
I loved the Iranian film A Separation. It’s so beautifully honest & human. Just watch it.
V. a recent thought
I am the first to have so much appreciation for a curated good vibe with a great restaurant / dinner party / coffee shop / playlist etc., but lately I’ve been so pleasantly reminded many times that it’s not the perfect this / that… it’s with who. Talking on the couch until late, going on a long walk, sitting at a random bar, laughing through a 6 hr flight.. it’s all perfect when I’m with people I love with all my heart.
