Summer Bucket List

A list of things I want to do this summer.

There are so many things I want to do this season, so I’m just gonna spitball here and see what happens. This isn’t a must-do list. This is a how-about-this list for all of the summer days coming up.

• Go lane swimming in the mornings

• Ride a bike (ideally along some sort of waterfront path)

• Lose count of how many heirloom tomatoes I eat

• Tan on my roof

• Eat the Red Hook Tavern burger in Brooklyn

• Consider any of these soft serve options: the soft serve from L’Industrie, the vegan tahini soft serve at Seed + Mill in Chelsea Market, try the I’m-sure-overhyped Myka Greek Frozen Yogurt or go back to Madison Fare (which has a West Village location now too) for their incredible tart frozen yogurt

• If I’m anywhere near Rockaway Beach, get this incredible frozen pina colada

• See some waterfalls in Hamilton, ON

• Make Nanaimo bars

• Ask Marla’s mom to make date squares again

• Go to the lighthouse museum on Staten Island

• Make this L’Artusi mushroom ragu again and freeze it for my pregnant friend

• Start to research for Europe trip in the fall

• Drink the insane sounding sangria at the Skydome

• Finish making my own seasonal address labels

• Watch any of these movies or any of these episodes

• Take the ferry and go to Centre Island in Toronto or Rockaway in Queens

Lofty list, right? I think so. Happy second day of summer!
