"Dine at a restaurant in your neighborhood tonight. Order the sauce you’ve never tried before. Have a cold beer at 4 p.m. in an empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to a stranger who has nothing in common with you. Order a medium-rare steak. Try an oyster. Order a Negroni. Order two. Open yourself to a world you don’t understand or don’t agree with the person next to you, but share a drink with them, even if you don’t know them. Eat and drink slowly. Tip your waiter generously. Pay attention to your friends. Check everything out for yourself. Enjoy the journey."
