Junior year. First day of high school. Vibes? Absolutely rancid. In walks the teacher—a crusty old guy rocking a full-blown pedo ‘stache. Like, he didn’t just have one; he owned it. His shirt’s half-tucked, half-hanging like he just rolled out of a dumpster, and his whole aura screams, "Don’t trust me around your goldfish." Everyone’s side-eyeing this dude hard. The pedo vibes were strong. He starts attendance, head down, not looking at anyone. But then he gets to my name. Pauses. Looks up. His creepy pedo mustache twitches as his eyes lock onto me with laser focus. And then: "Ah, Mr. So glad you’re here. How’s your family? Is your little sister still playing piano? That model ship still on your dresser? Your room’s still blue, right?" Excuse me, WHAT? My brain just blue-screened. This crusty creeper just dropped a full FBI file on me, including my room décor. Then he hits me with: "Ah, of course it is—it’s only been, what? A week?" My guy goes back to roll call like he didn’t just audition for "Top 10 Creepiest Teachers of All Time." I’m sitting there panicking, ready to sleep with a bat under my pillow because this pedo-looking dude apparently knows my entire life. Next day, I find out the truth: he’s my uncle’s best friend, and the whole thing was a prank. My dad was in on it too. They made him grow that pedo ‘stache just for the bit. The twitchy eyes, the serial killer vibe, the half-tucked shirt? All part of the performance. Man went full method acting for this. After that, he shaved off the ‘stache of nightmares, dressed like a normal human, and stopped giving "might kidnap you in a van" energy. I gotta admit, it was a god-tier prank. Even if I thought I was about to be on a true-crime doc for two days straight.

3 Stories of the Worst Date Ideas 😨 1. The Silent Treatment Date “I thought a movie night would be perfect for our first date. Turns out, sitting in silence for two hours with someone you barely know is painfully awkward. The post-movie conversation? Even worse—‘So, uh, how’d you like it?’ Don’t make this mistake!” 😰 2. The Sweat & Regret Gym Session “I wanted to impress them with my love for fitness, so I suggested a gym date. Big mistake. Between my failed attempt at benching too much and their visible discomfort, we both left feeling embarrassed and awkward. Lesson learned: not everyone finds sweat romantic.”🥴 3. The Meet-the-Family Surprise “I thought it’d be fun to bring my date to a family barbecue. Turns out, it was overwhelming and way too much pressure. They spent the entire time dodging questions from my overly curious relatives. Needless to say, there was no second date.”💩 What’s your worst date idea story?

Shrine Bar Harlem A few of Harlem’s storied jazz spots are still around, but there are also some exciting spaces in the neighborhood where new artists are keeping the genre interesting. At the Shrine, you can listen to jazz and funk in a vibey purple room almost every night, and most of it is more danceable than the stuff at your dad’s favorite jazz club. This is a low-key spot where you’ll discover stray records in the crevices and mingle with a fun, younger crowd.

Tabú didn’t have to make their food delicious. The Tulum-themed Williamsburg spot could have just relied on their huge outdoor area covered with parasols, a DJ stand with its own water-feature as a backdrop, and their excellent cocktails to bring people in the door. But the food is good, bordering on great—making this a clubstaurant that’s as exciting on a Wednesday as it is on Saturday. On any of those evenings, you’ll find dancers in flowy costumes flitting between the fronded plants and two stone bars. And while we wouldn’t be surprised if the owners seriously considered filling the courtyard in with white sand at some point, there’s plenty of attention to detail in the seafood-oriented kitchen too. Tabú serves mostly smaller portioned food, so order a bunch of things, including a couple of tacos, a raw fish dish or two, and some stellar chips and guacamole.

Bubby's Starting with the food, it’s my favorite brunch spot in the city. Whenever I have people visiting I always take them there. They have the best gluten-free pancakes in the world—my friends always say they’re just as good as the regular ones, they’re so sweet and fluffy and yummy. But I really like that their bathroom is gender neutral with floor to ceiling doors, and they also have a photo booth. It’s so fun when you’re out with friends and you want to take photos.
