Yes, New Yorkers walk fast, we’re friendly, we’re helpful and we don’t tolerate fools.

I left NY for Virginia in 1986 but I still consider myself a New Yorker. You can leave it, but it never leaves you…

This was a great essay about ny home town. Yes, we do walk fast and the people I meet are usually helpful. Once I was with a friend trying to decide what we wanted to do next and a person came up to us offering help.

I grew up in Astoria. I loved being able to be on 5th Ave in 15 minutes. Funny, now that I think of it, it took my father longer than that to find parking in Astoria. Happy 10th anniversary 🥳

One needs a week in Key West, if not simply for perspective.
