[Music] hello this is Taylor welcome to what I'm turning into of what I spend in a day in New York City you might know the popular version what I spend in a week in New York City but it's just 24 hours today and I'm filming this because I have some fun Bing around and some errands and all that good stuff to do in New York City today and I have a feeling it's going to add up a wee bit it's an overcast lovely day in New York I I got to address it I don't know if you guys will give a hoot at all but I couldn't find my regular sunglasses the once I wear every single day for those who don't know these are the ones I wear every single day couldn't find them this morning but it's an overcast day and that's actually that's when you need sunglasses the most you know hello squirrel wow so agile that's when you need him the most because the sky is white not blue and so more reflective and meteorology expert Taylor reporting for duty but anyways I had to leave my house with these kind of CAD ones that I have they're fun but I feel like I'm cosplaying mean girl you know what I [Music] mean always a fun Corner that one gritty street art East Village cool all right I will shut up now and let you guys look around but I should show you this townhouse in East Village is the one that Leed Zeppelin used on the cover of that one album you know there it is right there fun fun fact all [Music] right I would love to try one of these cuz you guys are known for the cloud thing right thank you oh my god smells good okay this is their Cloud cappuccino I think it's just like a ton of sweet cream cold foam on top you know what this reminds me of is from The Simpsons movie when Flanders makes that insanely intricate coffee or hot chocolate drink that is literally what this looks like I just need a little flamethrower to toast the top anyway cute dog looks like [Music] mine all right moment of truth real quick before we chat I have never had this before I mean okay I'm not going to lie there's there's a little tongue Mark already I mean yeah can't not be good but let's see the coffee delicious she got a straw what an idiot I am should I use my finger as I gross all right we're past the crazy stuff it's good I mean at the end of the day they're charging $ 850 because you can call it like a cloud latte and put sweet cold foam on there it was delightful don't get me wrong but I just wanted to try it okay so this is Elizabeth Street Garden I've brought you guys here before in my what I spend in a week actually and I remember saying it's it's like Cemetery Vibes which I stand by that it is but like good Cemetery Vibes people sitting in different Pockets hanging out having lunch reading I see a lot of people just come here to read which I've done many times and we're going to do today too but this is a really beautiful area we're in noita which means north of Little Italy part of Manhattan I've checked on Street easy but I want to see what these apartments that kind of look down over the garden are like on the inside okay going to go join the populace in the more crowded area over there read my book in a second but first wanted to tell you guys something I'm reading this which is called show your work by Austin Cleon I haven't finished it yet but I know what this book is about and I just had a couple Reflections around it it's about basically putting your work out there or sharing some part of yourself or your creativity Etc in some small way every single day and to be practicing it because odds are others you know some people will resonate with it but it has to be findable so anyways I had a moment yesterday where that principle of this book really resonated with me it was a small thing but my life now it really obviously revolves around YouTube and that's what I geek out on so all of the little features that come out on YouTube Studio or the analytics that I'm constantly analyzing on my videos that's my passion that's what interests me and is also just applicable to my life in a way that I mean I'm constantly comparing these things but it's what I know in the way that Consulting was not that for me because it was much more theoretical it wasn't you know the work I was doing for clients it wasn't for my own business and so I always say without having my own skin in the game or without having a a horse in the race so to speak I just couldn't I couldn't bring myself to care nearly as much as I care about my own business obviously but anyways point being I put on my Instagram story yesterday me rambling a little bit about something that I found really interesting I'll give you the tldr basically YouTube recently rolled out the feature for creators to be able to AB test their thumbnails which means you can upload up to three different thumbnails and YouTube will then track which one performs the best and automatically set it to the one that performs best and I thought it was interesting that the metric that YouTube tracks to determine which one is best is not click-through rate click-through rate is the percentage of people that click on a thumbnail when it's presented to them the metric that they track according to the back end in the YouTube studio is watch time so how many minutes of your video did that person watch which to me is a little bit counterintuitive anyway so I went on my story and just talked about this and and said that I can understand why YouTube would do it the way they do it but I personally as a Creator would like to see the difference in click-through rate and when I have these thoughts I typically don't share them because I think they're too Niche or I don't know like who cares except for other creators right however I am like you know what screw it I'm going to put it on my story see what people think the amount of replies I got on that a sensibly very very Niche thought I was having or opinion about this thing got so many replies and from such a wide variety of people too none other than the expert himself MKBHD literally responded into it cuz he he had the same thought and so he dug into it and said that what YouTube does is actually it's kind of a combination of the two the click-through rate and the watch time basically the way he put it is if a video gets let's just keep numbers simple 100 hours of watch time but 75 of those hours come from the group of people that clicked on this thumbnail versus that one that's how YouTube determines it so it's kind of a combination between clickthrough rate and average F duration again like getting into the nitty gy but just the fact that I got so many replies on that let alone like from experts in the field I just thought that was really really cool and so again without having finished this I already feel inspired to be putting out random thoughts into the world every day or like even in this video I'm already rambling because I'm sure it will resonate with someone all right now I'm going to go join the masses oh I should have said part of my effort to start sharing more like random thoughts and Etc I am starting a newsletter so it's going to be part of my email list which uh if you want to join the link is into the description [Music] couple hours of pter time which included scripting on my next video after this one little hint it involves my apartment so I'm excited to release that one and I think you guys are really going to like it caught up on some emails with a few brands that I have deals with over the next couple months and of course texted some friends I'm always multitasking here's live footage of me receiving a really funny [Music] one huge perk of my job being able to do it from pretty much wherever I just sent out the invite to my birthday party which I'm having soon and yeah for reference every single of event that I host I call it a moistening that's just my brand now but anyway it's my 27th birthday soon my actual birthday is September 4th but I'm having the party another time when more people are in town but I'm really proud of this theme it wasn't my idea I'm not going to lie it was one of my friends ideas well I came up with this part cuz you know Taylor Swift obviously had her eras tour but this Taylor this one my spin on the Aras tour is life eras so to come dressed as one of your life eras whether it was when you were an intern a high schooler or I added this little bit future mil d you know keep it spicy and I put this as my picture I think that's what I'm going to do is the life era of Taylor first day of freshman

and like everyone me all my friends everyone I know calls it Rin Tin Tin but then I have a friend who insists on calling it it really tickles me I don't know why anyway we're actually uh keeping the wallet in the pocket more than I expected today but let's go change that shall we [Music] so guys I can only go to so many New York spots to show you when I am just craving the fast casual Jewel of

spend to get one of [Music] those oh man I hurt a little bit at the same time I'm like you know what I do that once a year I not that I've ever spent that much in a single shopping trip but I went in there with an idea of what I wanted I don't do it very often I'm going to keep this pieces forh ever I don't know who I'm trying to justify it to besides myself and now I can donate like quite a bit of stuff in my closet too so honestly I got to say great place for Staples and just like really classy looking kind of Timeless pieces but that hurt a little bit I'm not going to lie anyway going to
