COLLECTED AGENDA #2 Transcribing my planner and my plans - events, screenshots, restaurants, exhibitions, party flyers etc Thanks for reading Chloe Pingeon! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. a note: COLLECTED AGENDA will come out every SUNDAY going forward. WHAT I DID Friday, 5/17 I’m flying back from Texas and then I’m in an Uber to the Lower East Side to collect things and then I’m in an Uber to the West Village and then I’m going to sleep. New York feels all new again, all because I left for only three days. I’m thinking I should leave more. I’m thinking I should cherish the night but then I’m so tired. I go to sleep so early, but outside, there is Ellie’s MFA/MA (?) Graduation Party on the Upper East Side, and an EGirl party at Le Bain . Later, I’m hearing I missed a night that was spectacularly fun on both fronts. Saturday, 5/18 Wake up in paralysis. I like that the apartment is quiet, but I don’t like that it is easy to forget anything else exists. Afternoon: change for the gym but then change by mind. Change into a green skirt I have been wearing for three days - tearing in back, note material is cheap, note to take to tailor. I walk to Pause Cafe to meet my friends and it’s feeling like deja vu even though I know exactly what I’m remembering (when I used to go to Pause Cafe every day) (realistically, I am reminiscing on last month). Evening plans thwarted again, but nothing was really happening tonight anyways. Sunday, 5/19 Morning roaming around Little Island , West Side Highway, batting cages at Pier 40 . This area is very spiritually dead, although the shrubbery on Little Island is reminiscent of a grassy knoll and I want to roll down the hills. Architectural feats bringing feelings of impending doom and too many tourists and too many people in general. I’m feeling clever so I look up if it’s the same architect who is responsible for both The Vessel and Little Island and it is - Thomas Heatherwick . Evil man. Later, I’m at brunch at Cafe Cluny eating french fries in the sun and then after I’m in Flatiron looking for someone to let me into a cuff links store that’s in the same building as my dermatologist and then I’m walking by The Portal where everyone is just standing and waving and waving and waving and it occurs to me that this whole project is just a twenty four-seven feedback loop of everyone just waving. Like there’s new people churning in and out but the crowd is such that it’s just one interchangeable block on the screen, and I’m only there for three minutes but the whole time this whole mass is just infinitely waving. Creeps me out that this terminal greeting has been going on for weeks. I’m overwhelmed and helpless (getting a cab). Evening: magical dinner at Minetta Tavern . I like that it’s so lively even on a Sunday. There’s a wait and so I’m walking around the block, and the fresh trash at Old Tbilsi smells remarkably good. Minetta feels warm and cozy, and I would have thought I like it more in winter, but it’s the start of summer and I like it a lot now too. Order: seabass and dirty martini. Learning Minetta has bad steak but good fish. Learning Keith McNally’s book comes out in 2025, which is old news I guess, but news to me nonetheless. Monday, 5/20 Day In My Life Getting My Life Together. There’s an evening full of wasted potential because I’m suddenly so Type A. I’m going to pilates. I’m ordering Sweetgreen from down the block to be deposited right to my door. I’m eating a Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Perfect Bar. Must not become braindead! Writing in my notes app - gluttony is my least favorite sin. Tuesday, 5/21 It’s so humid and sparkly today. I walk seven miles on the phone with my dad and then I go to a garden party at The Future Perfect townhouse and I eat little bites of veggie hot dogs shaped like flowers and I sit on squishy lounge chairs on the roof. Later, Taco Tuesday at Tacombi . People next to me are making bets on who in the restaurant is Most Evil. I love when it’s humid and I’m sitting on the street eating two tacos for six dollars. Wednesday, 5/22 Running into everyone I know on my walk to a Strange Party in D*mes Square. I walked A Million Miles today. New York feels so SMALL in the summer. I’m eating North Dumplings in the back of a party and I’m sound asleep by midnight. Thursday, 5/23 Amtrak to the ocean tonight. Then I’m in the car leaving Providence with my dog and my dad and I’m making everyone roll up and down the windows so that I’ll catch the breeze at exactly the moment when you first smell salt. Full moon over the dock. Too cold to swim and then walk home, so we’re driving the van a quarter of the mile down the road to jump in. The sharks allegedly haven’t arrived at Buzzards Bay yet and there’s no light that isn’t moon and there’s nobody else here. Actually, everything is more beautiful than I could have ever possibly imagined.
