Today is a day! This is the first really warm day and the streets are packed. I walked over to the Library at Bryant Park to eat my soup. Walking through the park afterwards in a sea of people. People eating, people reading. People talking, people starring. Eye Candy! Chess played, stone laid, children whirling, long lines for sandwiches. Balls rolling on the Boule courts, cameras pointing in every direction.
A guy talking excitedly to female table mates, "There is no city like New York. No city like New York - let's just get that straight!"
Fountain spraying, cutest-in-the-world puppies roaming - women watching with big smiles. Pope at the U.N. and Yorktown, a 15 minute walk from here. Germanic evangelist talking about Jesus to "Savvy Americans." Every shape, every color, every sound imaginable - all packed together. The lawn rests, this day.
This kind of day makes me thrilled that I live in New York City, "No city like New York..." Makes me want to not just live in Brooklyn, but in Manhattan. (Okay, I really like were I live in Brooklyn, but there it is different.) Makes me not want to leave.
This is a day in the City!
