How fortunate that a friend invited me to have breakfast with her at the hotel that she is staying at on west
40 street between 8th and 9th. Traveled by subway, off at 40th and 7th, then two blocks west---40 street between 8th and 9th--once a strange no man's land---seedy at best---now packed with hotels---there must have been five of them all in a row. Can they really exist beside each other in this economy.? But the street was filled with people, and the hotel where my friend was staying---the furthest west on the block, was alive with energy. Many people eating breakfast. Truly a different experience---a rush of people, an exciting energy all over---no sign of the emptiness that the pandemic caused.
Now back at the apartment---quiet settles in. What did I get from this "adventure"? Just a sense that I would like to be moving around more. It is exciting to be 'other places" then the upper west side. So what does the future hold? Today---not sure, could be anything. Lots of football and basketball to follow...but where,,,? Must find out---will report soon.
