Didn't see you

[Music]

there. Oh, hello. It's springtime, baby.

You guys may or may not know about me

that spring is kind of by far my

favorite season. specifically spring

verging on summer. We're talking May,

June. We're not quite there yet, but

close enough. And of course, we're going

to go hit some of my favorite New York

spots now that we are no longer in the

debt of winter. And obviously, you're

coming with me. Don't even kid yourself.

At first, I have something embarrassing

to tell you guys. I was just ming myself

up inside, i.e. putting my little

microphone on. And the way it works,

like the cord runs down my shirt and

then it attaches to, you know, you try

to make it look kind of discreet. So, I

kind of have it here or sometimes in the

back. And anyways, it reminded me of

this time I was doing a real estate

tour. I've done a couple of them on my

channel. And I don't know if I was

nervous or what it was. I don't think I

was nervous, but anyway, I was in front

of the real estate agents in this

really, really, really nice property.

And I was there ming myself up in front

of them and somehow someway the mic pack

ends up through my fly. Like, this is

how it ended up. And then I remember

trying to play it off like, "Oh, that'll

work. I'll just go like, no, it won't

work, actually." So anyway, I ended up

unbuttoning my pants and fixing it, but

I just don't know how that happened.

Now, let's go explore New York a bit,

shall

[Music]

we? Coffee, coffee, coffee. Hot

Americano. Wo wo wo. What? Springtime,

baby. Time for cold beverages. Oh,

that's true. I can make an iced

Americano. No, no, no. I'm talking

something nice and smooth. Cold brew.

Yes, ma'am. Did you make that? Sure did.

Wait, how did you get into my house?

Details don't matter, sweetheart. Okay.

Do you like cold brew? Yeah, I freaking

love cold brew. It's just like $8

anywhere that I go and I've never made

it myself. So, I've got you covered. Oh,

so besides breaking and entering. Well,

Trade has you covered. Trade? Here, try

this. Yeah. Trade Coffee Coffee

subscription company, you know. Oh,

yeah. Actually, well, they've teamed up

with 15 expert roasters to source the

best beans and make a killer cold brew

[Music]

spring.

Wow, it is nice. Spoiler alert, you'll

see I'm wearing my my jacket. It's still

quite chilly, but it's sunny and it's

beautiful and that's all I can ask

about. Well, well, well, if it isn't my

trusty

Stevie. You guys know where I helmet.

Always on the

mail and how you turn completely

into so

[Music]

easily

really beautiful. So many blooming

[Music]

flowers. You see that smooth docking

process? I don't know how this footage

is going to come out, but what a

beautiful ride that just was.

[Music]

So

cute. Did you guys see that

Cavalier? Oh. Oh my

goodness. Like a little bear. Guys,

there is unlimited footage to get. It's

every corner looks freaking like a movie

set. It's crazy. It is so

beautiful. Fantastic cocktails. Pretty

much as good as they get. Hi. How are

you? Good. Good, thanks. Um, do you guys

just have regular drink coffee? Yeah.

I'll do a small, please. Yes. Right

here, please. What? Yes, please. Thank

you. Thank you so

much. Oh my god, you guys. I didn't get

footage, but as I was sitting in there

drinking my coffee, I started chatting

up the woman next to me. She has lived

here in the heart of West Village since

1977. and she's got that incredible rent

stabiliz situation and I told her I am

jealous. We were talking about the

weather and how it's still kind of

chilly in the spring, blah blah blah.

And then I brought up how cold this

winter was and she totally agreed. And

then I asked her what the coldest winter

she's ever had in New York was. And she

said that there was an insane blizzard

like over 30 years ago where they

literally closed the Lincoln Tunnel. Her

aunt who lived in Jersey had to crash on

her couch for a while. And uh just so

cool. I love talking to New Yorkers who

have been here for a really long time.

They all have very good stories and

experiences to share. Anyways, fun fact.

I was actually going to not come to West

Village because I feel like I come here

in every single video, but then I docked

my bike in West Village and I was like,

I'm not leaving. It's so

pretty. Hey, let's catch up a little

bit, shall we? So, I'm back in the city

after almost a full month of traveling,

which is a huge privilege. which we'll

talk about in a second, but started in

New York. Obviously, went home to

California to see the parents and then

from there flew to Korea. After that,

Vietnam and then Taiwan for a wedding of

a very, very good YouTube friend of

mine, Chloe Shei, who I'm sure a lot of

you guys know. So much fun. I only knew

a handful of people there, other

creators, but had an absolute blast. And

Chloe really knows how to freaking put

on a production, let me tell you that.

After Taiwan, I went back to California

for a day or two and then to Houston for

another wedding. I was a plus one at

this wedding, but my god, was it fun.

And it actually wasn't in Houston

proper. It was in the countryside on a

friend's ranch and it was oh my god, it

was stunning. Anyway, I had a thought.

So, while I was gone during this month

of travel, I I worked plenty. I filmed a

ton of videos, which I'm so excited to

edit. Those will come out like mid next

month. But, for the most part, I was

able to just get up and go travel for a

month. And I don't know, sometimes I

verge on the cusp of everything I talk

about in my vlogs being about how

grateful I am for my job. But gosh darn

it, I have to say it. If you told Taylor

in management consulting 2 years ago

that she'd be able to just get up kind

of whenever, go see the world, travel

with my mom, travel with friends, and

yeah, work while I'm there, but like I

want to work. I don't know, man. I just

don't know how I got so lucky. It's a

good life. Anyway, all that being said,

I am thrilled to be back in New York

City. Still the best city in the world.

You're telling me you know what you

mean. But when I turn the lights

off, it's all so

clear. Never actually been in there

before. Actually, I have, but it's been

a long time. It's like a very famous

news magazine store in the West Village.

Oh my god. And here's a little attached

coffee shop. Fun. I do not need another

one though. No, I do not.

[Music]

Mine walks the same exact way. Anyway, I

just tracked him down and pet him for

like several minutes. Can't help myself.

It's an addiction. It really

[Music]

is. And finally, would this be a Taylor

Bell video if I didn't take you to this

corner? No, it would not. Famously, my

favorite corner in New York City, me and

many, many other people. This is Liv

Tyler's old place and it's just so

insanely beautiful. And I know what it

looks like on the inside because I've

watched the Architectural Digest tour of

it like 30,000

[Music]

times. My next

musing, that's kind of what my vlogs

are. I I show you New York City and then

and then you have to listen to my

musings. But that's kind of is what I'm

about to talk about, which is sharing my

musings. So, I've talked about this

before, but I am doubling down on how

great it is to share your interests with

other people. Oh, so cute. Oh my god,

did you guys see that? And again, it's

just one of my favorite parts about my

job. Like, having this channel talking

about things that I find interesting has

already deepened existing relationships

that I had where maybe a friend of mine

will watch the video and they'll really

resonate with something that I said and

then they'll text me about it

afterwards. more and more of my friends

are doing this, whether they're writing

like Substacks if they're good writers

or writing movie reviews. Look at all

these

flowers. So pretty. Or they design like

a quarterly magazine and source

submissions from their friends. So my

point is, if you're even considering

doing this or you really want to start

something kind of creative or whatever,

just do it. At the very least, it will

help you reconnect with some maybe like

creative hobby that you used to like

doing, especially if you don't get to

flex that muscle in your job, which is

the case for a lot of people. I just

think it's a great outlet. And very

recently, I received a very, very cool

byproduct of sharing my enthusiasm for a

particular institution. I'll show you

when we get home, but share your

interests. All right. As much as I would

love to meander around West Village for

the rest of my entire life, we actually

have to get home for a really cool

thing, I'll show you guys. And then we

also have fun plans later tonight. Kind

of a packed day. Like chill, but packed

at the same time. You know what I mean?

And as always, obviously you're coming

with me. Duh.

Yeah. Yeah. I really hope you love me,

too. Yeah. Yeah. I really hope you love

me, too.

Yeah. Yeah.

Guess who it

is. Trusty Steed.

Hello. So, here's a cool one for you.

Oh, don't mind my huge donate trash bag.

A couple months ago, I was talking with

a friend about what brands would be like

my dream brands to work with. And I was

like, Apple would be my dream brand, but

I don't think they work with creators,

and that would just be like one of my

wildest dreams, you know? Fast forward a

couple weeks later, I get an email from

Apple and I I open it and I'm like,

"That's not real." You get a lot of scam

emails, you know. And then I look up the

sender of the email on

LinkedIn. Definitely real. And then

there I am a couple weeks later at an

Apple event getting to look at some of

the new products, get my hands on them,

get demos, just like so cool. I don't

even consider myself well I'm definitely

not a tech channel but I will say

through having this job I've definitely

become more technical like I geek out on

laptop specs. Video editing has become

like a second language to me and I love

it so so much. But anyway, I'm about to

chat with Apple again in just a little

bit. Before we do that though, something

I want to show you guys. So I get home

from my month of travel, right? I'm here

opening the PR packages and just

whatever came while I was gone for

almost full month and then I get this

package and remember how I said there

was a cool byproduct of me sharing my

enthusiasm for a specific institution on

the interwebs? Well, I got an email from

someone right before I left for my trip

saying that they also loved Trader

Joe's. And not only that they loved it,

but that they literally wrote a book

talking about all the different art and

cool unique things about Trader Joe's.

And she went to 100 plus different

locations to get the information for

this book. She asked if she could send

me a copy and I said, "I would be

honored if you would send me a copy."

So, first of all, if that's not the

cutest wrapping you've ever seen, I

don't know what is. I thought we'd open

it together. So cool. Oh my god. This

This is a Trader Joe's card. A card from

Trader Joe's. Very on the nose. Dear

Taylor, thank you for all the joy and

positivity you bring into this world

through your videos. I hope you enjoy my

book, The Art of Trader Joe's. Wishing

you all the best, Julie. Of course, I'm

going to link all this stuff. See what I

mean? It actually still blows my mind

that this could come of sharing stuff on

the internet. That is just so cool.

Thank you, Julie. I haven't even opened

your book yet, and I'm like emotional.

Okay, let's see. Oh my god. The Art of

Trader Joe's: Discovering the Hidden Art

Gems of America's Favorite Grocery Store

by Julie Averbach. I hope I'm saying

that right. Wow, that is so cool. Oh,

and an inscription. Taylor, from one

Trader Joe's enthusiast to another. I

hope you enjoy the book. Check out page

96 and 97 for the East Village store.

She knows cuz that's the one I toured.

It's my favorite location. Wait, this is

insane. It shows the art on specific

Trader Joe's items and the inspiration.

Like, this is digging deep, y'all. Oh my

god, Julie, you're a beast. Okay, let me

go to the East Village location. Oh,

flipped right to it. East Village

details. Oh my god. Yes. So, this is the

map and this is what I showed in my

video. Peter Arl's drawings that show

spotlights of different East Village

neighborhood gems. This is just so so

cool. My

god. Share your interests. Share your

work. Thank you, Julie. This is I'm

blown away by your

[Music]

work. Great call. Apple's so cool.

Anyways, we're headed to Brooklyn and

I'm running a little bit late, so I just

called

[Music]

neighbor on the outside looking in. I

really wasn't sure what I was

getting between the high waves on the

sea. Waiting for something to get to

me. I wasn't sure what I was. What's up,

vlog? We just got one of our favorite

Thai restaurants in Fort Green called

All right. How is this pronounced? We

say suck, but I'm pretty sure it's not

suck.

It's suck. You think it's suck? So,

anyway, naturally forgot to film in

there, but a great end to the evening.

Any other fun and spicy questions for

me, anonymous friend? Uh, are you

excited for spring? I am excited for

spring. We're in the spring, but it's

freaking cold. I'm excited for spring

summer. Anything else? Give me a spicy

question. I have nothing spicy. Well,

give me something really spicy. I have

nothing spicy.

All right. Well, like and subscribe.

Till next

time. I had a whole dance in mind, but

now I'm nervous. A like and subscribe

dance. I don't want to do it

anymore. No. No. It's the moment's fast.

Until next time, turtle out. Will I ever

make a different kind of intro? Probably

not. I like this one. At least today I'm

going to somersault out of bed. That's

pretty spunky. Hang on. I think my

camera is

smudgy. Guys, whenever I see a cavler

king Charles spaniel, I just can't keep

I can't maintain my focus. He's coming

this way. Spring foliage. So cute. I

have one

myself. That one's chunky, too, just

like mine. Wait, hang on. That's That's

not a good example.

Spring foliage. Okay. Delusional.
