The scenery is nice; you can see the full Manhattan skyline. Older, more experienced players hoop there, so there’s competition if you like playing.”

I used to have a lot of sneakers, about 30 pairs—Nike, Dunks, a few Jordans. But I cut back on sneakers and just buy the stuff I need.”

You don’t have to be 21 [to get in]. They play really good music like house and techno. And new hip-hop—you know, for people who like Drake.”
“I go to the movies a lot. My favorite is the Kaufman theater (UA Kaufman Astoria Cinema 14, 35-30 38th St between 35th and 36th Aves, Astoria, Queens; 800-326-3264). If you know people, they hook you up with cheap tickets. No, I can’t get the deal on the popcorn. The nachos, you’re going to have to help yourself out with that one.”
