I am leaving New York next week. Add me to the list. Another tick in the New York is dead column. Or maybe in the Cowards who cant wait out the pandemic column. Wag your finger at me or shake your head in disgust. Tut tut. Tsk tsk. Dont worry. Im already doing it to myself.
Let me backtrack. I was born at Mount Sinai on the Upper East Side. I spent my childhood in 20 different apartments across the Upper West Side and beyond, shuttling between my moms and my dads. My dad moved to Connecticut, then Montreal, then Japan. I switched from attending private school on the Upper West Side to a magnet school on the Upper East, where I met most of my best friends. I went to college in Boston (okay, fine, Harvard), immediately moved back home after college, then set up shop in the various neighborhoods young people flock to across New York East Village, Murray Hill, Williamsburg.

Beautiful Clinton.
***You think you can get a good corn beef sand in NYC? Try Cleveland. 100 times better.***
To me theres only one thing that cant be improved on from New York City, and thats a bagel.
We have one place here where they come as close as Ive ever seen, but still not as good as the ones you get in the City (or Long Island).
There must be something unique to the area, like the humidity or air pressure, or something.

“To me theres only one thing that cant be improved on from New York City, and thats a bagel.”
Living in Northeast PA the thing I miss most is finding a decent loaf of Italian bread. I’ve tried all the local bakery’s and even some that are 50 miles away. All thin crust, airy dough GARBAGE.
Ahhh, the bread is always amazing!
Ill never forget my first deli sandwich, which was on Long Island. After college graduation, my husband (then boyfriend) and I took a trip to visit his family and friends to celebrate before starting our first real jobs. His best friends family owned a deli. He made me the best turkey sandwich Ive ever had, and Im fairly certain he used Italian bread. It was heavenly!
That was 38 years ago, and I still remember the taste of the turkey and texture of the bread. It was soft on the inside, and crunchy but not thin on the crust. Delightful. And I remember my husbands best friends smiling, cheerful face, the first time we had ever met in person. Rest In Peace, Chris, you were a good man and are missed.
Kind of humorous the title of the article includes the term “nuclear option.” That move is more like a faint, distant pop of a plastic bag.
My daughter an SIL recently moved to southern Jersey. I’ve never seen so many American flags or Trump signs on display anywhere, even in the Midwest. It’s like Maryland, where 90% of the population (overwhelmingly communist) lives in 10% of the space, and ruins everything for everyone normal.
Thanks for the correction.
Lol, so true.
Great photos. They’re not conservatives so much as Neanderthals.
So, nothing has changed. The author went to Harvard, you know.
Q. Why does New York have all the crooked politicians and New Jersey have all the toxic waste dumps?
A. Because New Jersey got to pick first.
Hey- wait a minute...I’m in Jersey and we’re full. No more room! Especially for those whose unfortunate voting habits ruined NYC!
Refugees fleeing New York have rendered our once-reliably-red county purple over the past couple of election cycles.
