FAMILY TALK, FEAST At noon, on my way to meet a friend for brunch at Ludlow House, I call my brother, Jung, who lives in London. I grew up in Australia, and my parents still live there, so I don’t have any family in New York. I keep trying to persuade Jung to move here, but it’s been two years, and it hasn’t worked so far. The brunch is called Feast, and the experimental waffles are amazing. The person who makes them puts different things in the batter — I’ve had ones with fried chicken and vegetables.

AFTERNOON SHOPPING Afterward, my friend and I walk around the Lower East Side for about an hour. I recently bought a fiddle-leaf fig, which looks very photogenic on Pinterest, and it’s not doing well, so I’ve been stopping in at the Sill on Hester Street to get advice. We go produce shopping in Chinatown because the vegetables are fresh and less expensive. I also visit the ADAY pop-up store in NoLIta. I wear that clothing brand all the time.
