Been there dozens of times, night and day, rain and shine, in every season. Always unique. Always wonderful.
Same with the Staten Island Ferry, which in my time (if I haven’t skipped a groove...now there’s a phrase few under 40 yo will understand!) was a NICKEL each way. One of the best dates in NYC, but best in the Summer.
What a wonderful city that WAS...and went totally bad right after Giuliani, not just 2 years ago. (Dinkins era was bad also...that’s when I repatriated after 20 years gone, and couldn’t understand why all the cars on the street had signs in the window that said “NO RADIO”. Then I found out!)
WHAT A SHAME!!!
You don’t think it was ok during Bloomberg’s tenure? Aside from having to drink a small soda, I thought he maintained status quo from Guiliani for the most part.
