I have lived here long enough to now be discussing the crookie with a fellow New Yorker... and have them not know what the cronut was.

I have to explain so much New York lore to so many people that it rivals being trans and autistic for sheer percentage of things I talk about. But to understand me you have to understand the Cannibal Cop and Moira Johnston and Sydney Leathers and Splash and Nick Denton's notoriously strange living situation. I need you to know Lizzie Grubman. I want your Amanda Lepore story. Remember when the L train was half down for like 2 years? You don't? Ok, I'm an ancient witch, a sorceress of time itself

People say New York exists pre-Disney and post-Disney, pre-9/11 and post-9/11, pre-AIDS and post-AIDS, etc. etc. but truly New York before and after COVID is two completely different places with the same layout. At times it is spooky.
Also sorry for all the New York musing as if I've ever had an original thought. This also may be true of where you live. I just live here. I'm not responsible for how much this stupid island is discussed.

@MondayOnions It is truly a thing to behold and I feel lucky to know it so well if only because it is so fascinating

Muse away to your heart's content. New York is huge part of every foreigners imaginings. Probably the most interesting and significant city on the planet.
