Why this night
Marcus told us Priya's idea of a present is an hour alone in a record bin, not a box with a bow. So the night opens with the crates, parks the car once, and saves the sugar for last — every stop is a ten-minute walk or a two-minute ride from the one before.
Don't forget the small things
Bring a tote
She will find at least two records. Plan for the sleeve.
Mention the birthday
Mabel's takes celebrations seriously — say it at booking.
Pace the rounds
Polite Provisions pours with intent. Two is plenty before gelato.
Her birthday down the 30th Street spine — record crates, gin and conservas at Mabel's, cocktails, and gelato in a former dry cleaner. The Resy link below is live.
