"You know the person you're meeting up with is just going to talk about the two-week trip they took to the Maldives and all the famous people they thought they saw there. Suggest an evening at The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club in Gowanus. (Shuffleboard apparently exists in places other than the deck of a cruise ship.) You can rent one of the 10 courts here by the hour, and there are two bars in addition to a food truck. You have no idea how to play shuffleboard, but you know it involves hands, which means your friend might forgo the whole scrolling through vacation photos thing." - kenny yang
