  1. How we thought of NYC:

    Manhattan – the City
    Brooklyn, Queens and Bx – strange places where people are tough and everything is concrete.
    Staten Island, provincal, the sticks, home.

  2. “Also, the two bars at the W Hotel on Lex are pretty good.”

    Totally packed. Thus the Waldorf (right across the street).

    The W hotel really annoys me. It’s so self-consciously hip. Like form is substance. It’s a gen Y trendoid hotel. I stayed in one last week. There was mood lighting and techno in the elevator.

  3. At that time, here is how we thought of NYC:

    -Manhattan: “The City”
    -Brooklyn and Queens: the places where real NY’ers lived, the ones with the accent.
    -Bronx: place to flea.
    -Staten Island: some rural outpost
