Yesterday morning the thing I was most excited about was going to my old deli by work and getting a big fat NY bagel. I was going to test my boy, Andy, there to see if he remembered my order (Everything, toasted, light butter) but he wasn’t around. There are some new displays and some new people there but for the most part it’s still the same.
Before that I had gone to the Starbucks on Varick/Spring to get some coffee. Walking down Varick I expected to feel some weird Twilight Zone action since that’s the route I used to walk to work every day but it felt good. Comfortable. Like maybe I was just walking this every day just last week.
As a true test that I have not lost my New Yorkness, 2 people asked me directions (to Hudson St. and to the nearest subway) and I was able to confidently tell them where to go. And no… it wasn’t “to hell”.
