They have incredible corn empanadas-my mouth is watering just thinking about it.” It’s incredible! I never go to Brooklyn, you can’t pay me to, but I’ll crave it in the middle of the night and just go. “It’s an Argentinian restaurant called El Almacen. It was the perfect mix of realness and acting.” And then you have all these amazing non-actors, but they’re even characters than the actors. First you have Adam Sandler, then you have The Weeknd, who’s a talented singer then you have Kevin Garnett, who is an amazing basketball player, he’s an icon in his craft then you have Idina, she’s Frozen and then Lakeith who’s just brilliant. It’s the perfect equation of like, a fucking atom bomb-of course it was gonna explode. I mean, how could it not? It has all the ingredients. “Yeah, I knew that it was going to be insane.

She’s been a figure in the New York nightlife scene since going-out tops were a thing.
