summer conversations: meet ms. celia porter and maybe join a book club?

How do you freewill-maxx?

i've become really good about being more of a "yes man". i'm trying to do more things out of my comfort zone, whether that's doing something fun on the weekdays, traveling to a new city, or even reading a book that wouldn't typically be a genre i would normally read. to me, it's all about removing the same old boring activities/tasks that don't bring me joy or help me grow as a person

What's something about atlantic city that still surprises you?

even when there's "nothing going on", there's always SOMETHING going on. there are so many unique and talented individuals in ac that are showing off in some capacity every day, so there is truly always something new to see

What do you feel like atlantic city is lacking?

a good bookstore and book club!! i love reading and it's something i do daily and i unfortunately feel like the only way i can join a book club is online/virtually. if i'm mistaken, PLEASE let me know because i would love to be wrong!

What's a small ritual that makes your week better?

might be cliche or boring, but i do love waking up in the morning and crafting my own coffee/latte. starting off each morning with a little sweet treat of my own helps set the tone for my day and it helps me start with a positive mindset. i look forward to my morning beverage daily :-)

Who in ac should we be paying attention to right now?

miss katie weightman!!! katie is really changing the space in ac by curating amazing events that are welcoming and friendly for gen z/millennials (single and taken alike), which is so hard to do in a "vacation town". this is especially important because it can be so hard to not fall into the nightclub/party scene and she's really pushing back and creating welcoming spaces for EVERYONE <3

Last thing you ate that you're still thinking about?

with the weather being so nice lately, all i can think about is the ube ice cream from jersey cow! my guilty pleasure andddd its so pretty

How stoked are you for angeloni's new happy hour?

is this a trick question?! super stoked. happy hours in AC with food AND drink specials every day are so hard to come by and i think it's the perfect mix of snacks, pastas, and drinks to kick off any night

Perfect night out in atlantic city?

in no specific order: beach, boardwalk, anchor rock club, the seed! 100% must end the night at TBG for a pie and a miller high life, that's a non negotiable.
