Summer Bucket List

by Liz Heather in Personal


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
