Yes, and this is NYC, baby! It’s this exact kind of energy that I really loved when I lived there.

Same. It’s wild, there the most interesting dichotomy of social exchange in NYC. You get amazing shit like this, meanwhile people standup and yell at each other like they’re about to fight in the subway and then just sit back down and go about their day; apparently because this is the New York way lol.

NYC is one of the most diverse places to live. So many different people offer the richness of their culture to the city, but that also presents challenges. Eventually folks have to learn to get along - or at least tolerate each other’s perspectives - to make the whole place work for everyone. Just think how much nicer things are when people get it right,

I’ll just add that I was living in Brooklyn in 2003 during that great blackout. The walk from Midtown to Brooklyn was an adventure - watching regular people directing traffic, folks doing impromptu concerts from block to block or serving food…to the police station handing out water to those of us who crossed the Brooklyn bridge. It was phenomenal.
