Suggestions on how to make a 1hr (each way) car commute less boring? Podcasts, traffic mantras, little treats? (I'm hit or miss on audiobooks - I get distracted - but if there's one that really captured you, I'd love to hear it!)

I wear a lot of jeans and t-shirts, usually accompanied by basic but classic shoes (loafers, chelsea boots). It's definitely my favorite and most authentic look, but sometimes I feel a little lacking in flair/character. What are your favorite accessories that elevate the jeans/t-shirt combo to "classic and interesting" instead of "classic and boring"?

We are moving to Princeton, NJ in August! Help with...anything? Groceries, restaurants, pharmacies, farmers' markets, hardware stores, fun local businesses to support? Good spots for an evening walk? Antiques and thrifting? We are excited, but we know nothing! Thank you!
