The pigeon man freaks me out, though. I have a fear of pigeons and squirrels—they gross me out. I don’t know why. I always flinch and duck and run away from them.”

I just get a small chai latte ($3.50) and even that pretty much does the job. It’s crazy.”
Painting: Stephen Magsig “We also go to the poetry readings at Cornelia Street Café (29 Cornelia St between Bleecker and W 4th Sts; 212-989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com). I like poetry in different languages. I’m Persian, so I like Spanish because I understand it—but French is actually my favorite. It’s so pretty.”
Photograph: Courtesy BondSt “My new favorite restaurant is BondSt (6 Bond St between Broadway and Lafayette St; 212-777-2500, bondstrestaurant.com). It’s sushi and it’s delicious—I really like the tuna crispy rice ($17) and the red-snapper tacos ($17).”
