I love New York?
So what was it like to be back in the big city, Maya, you ask me. Was it good for you? Was it?
Well, I reply, it didn’t start out too good. I got in at 3 pm on a Sunday, and all my peeps were far and away - bro was in New Rochelle attending an Orthodox Jewish wedding, sisters were in Boston checking out bride-to-be’s new abode, husband was sleeping soundly in HK, and my dial-a-car car was nowhere to be found.
Luckily, I continue, that was a temporary setback. I caught a cab and guessed the directions, and within the hour I was safely deposited in my brother’s sunny Brooklyn apartment, accessed easily using the key he left taped to the wall in the main lobby. After a quick shower I caught the Manhattan-bound N train to meet up with Rickey and wander randomly around the city. How did it feel, you ask, to be back there? City’s acquired the status of myth in your mind.
