    “I’m a football freak, a big Jets fan, so on Sundays I’ll go to the Riviera Café and Sports Bar (225 W 4th St at Seventh Ave; 212-929-3250, rivieracafeny.com) to watch the game. It’s really fun in there! I get spicy Bloody Marys ($10) with a lot of horseradish. Everyone razzes me about how badly the Jets are doing, but it’s okay.”

She attracts a lot of attention. I’ve met a lot of nice people that way.”

    “I have friends that like to go to plays so we’ll go to the Public Theater (425 Lafayette St between Astor Place and E 4th St; 212-967-7555, publictheater.org). I don’t go enough, but we actually all just got memberships, which get you some ridiculously low discount. We like that!”

    “I live on Bleecker Street, so I’ll walk Molly around the neighborhood to get dog treats from various store owners. They love Molly in particular because she’s so cute—she gets kisses. We love the Village Apothecary (346 Bleecker St between Christopher and W 10th Sts; 212-807-7566, villageapothecary.com), a local pharmacy where they give her Old Mother Hubbard dog treats. They order them from this top-quality pet-supply store, so the treats are very classy.”
