Rachel and Jessica introduce their podcast BDE (Books, Dating, and Everything) and recap a New York City trip centered around seeing Harry Styles at Madison Square Garden. They share travel chaos including a sleepless red-eye, navigating trains and subways without taking an Uber, and hauling luggage through the city. Highlights include stumbling into a street fair, getting flash tattoos at Tiny Zaps, eating street food and standout meals at The Granola Bar, and visiting the Morgan Museum/Library with a tarot exhibit and photography featuring nude studies. They laugh over using Hinge in a pub, bad breakfast and cardboard straws, shopping in the East Village and at Muji and a resale shop, and indulging in gluten-free desserts. They describe spotting Harry Styles outside before the concert, the show’s atmosphere, and their journey home.
