weekly {five} - dec. 1
am i the only one truly mind blown every time december rolls around
welcome back to the weekly {five} — a little something to end your weekend (or start your week) & stay in the loop for all things five o’clock fridays!
hope everyone had an a1 thanksgiving (even though it’s an odd holiday to celebrate imo but so it goes)
i feel like the whole month of december is semi fake life — for many of us (including myself), it’s the most chaotic, out of your routines, family concentrated time of the year. so whether you love it, or it’s not your favorite thing, i hope you remember to take some time for yourself!
1. funny feature — a little something that made me literally LOL this week
perpetually grateful to not have to deal with political convos/tension around the holiday dinner tables 🫣

2. a lil city slice — a potentially off the beaten path nyc rec
cecchi’s — for when the sunday scaries are coming on too strong, west village
this might be a hot take but i personally love a pre fixe menu. sometimes (a lot of the time) analysis paralysis really hits at the wrong time — so when i saw the perfect sunday supper at cecchi’s, it seemed right up my alley.
for the sunday nights when you really feel the need to treat yourself to a nice meal — or, if you’re me, and spend way too long deciding what to order because you can’t stop yapping.
3. two cents — a quick question or two for you
do you usually go to a holiday food market? if so, with who?
4. & now you know — highlighting the girls, gays, and theys that we all should know about
Rosa Parks — which I know, we all know who Rosa Parks is, but hear me out
december 1st marks 69 years since Rosa Parks was arrested for her act of defiance — which we know played a pivotal role in the end of racial segregation (well overt racial segregation 👀).
this isn’t new news — but what i think is important to remember is the following:
rosa parks wasn’t an older woman when she did this (she was 42)
she wasn’t physically tired (despite that often being the narrative)
it did come with repercussions (as most acts of defiance do) of being fired and jailed
69 years ago is actually so recent — to think of all of the people who are still alive today and lived through the civil rights movement is 🤯
while clearly we’re entering an increasingly divisive era in this country, as Rosa Parks said “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
5. up and coming — what’s going on for five o’clock fridays in the coming weeks
these events have been super fun (& can confirm that friendships have been made 🥳👏) — that being said, someone always tries to ruin the fun so will now be including this disclaimer: refunds are up to my discretion 🤷🏾♀️
cancelling last minute prevents someone else from signing up (which is sad) — this really is a labor of love (i literally gain nothing besides creating space for a1 humans to meet) so, while i know & respect that things come up, don’t get mad if i don’t refund you (because i usually just add it on as a tip 🤷🏾♀️).
the ticket cost is to ensure headcount and either goes 1/ towards your bill or 2/ as a tip to the location.
up & coming1:
art cafe @ happy medium — thursday, december 5th @ 6:45 pm (ticket link here)
