November has officially arrived. ADE is behind us (barely), Halloween has come and gone, and the city has entered its in-between era: the post-party calm, the pre-holiday haze, where every canal reflection feels a bit more melancholic and every café window seat feels like prime real estate.
We’ve entered dark times, politically, meteorologically, and financially, but we’re making the most of it. It’s the season of long dinners, good reads, and rediscovering comfort in the smallest rituals. Whether that’s a new album on repeat, a film that sticks, or a meal that makes the grey days feel a little less grey.
In this month’s Cheat Sheet, you’ll find what’s feeding our minds, playlists, carts, and appetites, alongside the full lineup of what’s worth leaving the house for, and a few surprises in between.
This month’s special perks include 5x2 weekend tickets to the Supersonic Jazz Festival and 2x2 tickets to the screening of Marc by Sofia on November 18 — plus access to more of our top IDFA movie picks! Check the events section for details on how to apply.
Consider this your monthly companion: equal parts city guide and cultural dispatch.
