The Brooklynite’s Guide to New Year’s Resolutions
Like most cynical-but-still-pretty-aspirational people, I grudgingly (but behind closed doors, fervently) buy into the whole “New Year’s Resolutions” thing. I also buy into the idea that if you’re dying to change some aspect of your life, you shouldn’t wait until January 1st to do it, but whatever. Clean slate! A chance at self-betterment! Visible abs and a savings account balance that isn’t laughable! The list goes on.

There’s a lot to do around here, aside from the unimpeachable routine of watching a ton of old Lie to Me episodes on Netflix and going to the same three neighborhood bars over and over again.
