"Well, your ex is inviting you to their wedding and wants to make sure you don’t feel too weird about it. And while you’re not quite on bad terms with them, you don’t exactly want to listen to them talk about their over-curated Santa Barbara venue during dinner. Instead, go get drinks at Automatic Slims in the West Village. It’s small, there are just a few tables, and it’s overall very plain-feeling. You can think of this place as a non-descript “bar” set in the fake play of your life. Oh, also are you really going to their wedding? Yikes." - hannah albertine
