"One of my favorite joints is the Brooklyn Ball Factory on Montrose Street. It's a Japanese coffee shop with really yummy coffee and a light breakfast. They also make Onigiri."

"Check out a gig at the Blue Note, New York's most famed jazz venue, which hosts a whole bunch of artists from Thundercat and Butcher Brown to Pharoah Sanders. It’s the whole slew of old to new music, so definitely go."

"My friend John Silas is the host at Tokyo Record Bar. He spins records and they introduce you to the different food as it comes out. They've got sake cocktails, and it's really a whole bunch of deliciousness."

"I played a couple of times at this club called Le Bain, which is the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District. And they’ve got an amazing view — the DJ decks overlook the whole city — so that would definitely be my spot for the best view."

"We've got a crew that lives upstate and they run this sort of hotel facility called Glen Falls House. A bunch of us throw parties up there — we just recently did one — and there's skiing during the day and then parties during the night. I would definitely recommend Glen Falls House as a nice getaway into nature."

"There's a collective in Greenpoint called THAT House Party THO. They converted their apartment into an event space with an open mic — people come up, recite their poetry, their stand-up, and sing songs — it's a mad vibe."
