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!

Above: me this summer, ignoring that entire list
