After being more or less trapped in our apartments for going on a month, it’s not surprising that many New Yorkers have started to do some out-of-the-ordinary things. For instance, even though I now have unlimited access to every single dish, glass and plate that I own, I’ve developed a habit of only ever really using one mug, covered in llamas. A piece of china I’ve now come to think of as "mug."
We took to our social channels to hear about some of the more, uh… out there things that you’ve been doing during quarantine. Read on for some solidarity in the fact that we’re all in this together.
