Can anyone think of a reason why New York is not Special?
What was special for me during the 5 years i spent there in the early 90's?
1. Skating at the Wollman Rink every New Years Day! My friend's almost killed me one year when the wind chill was -20F! It was worth the 1hour wait at the gate!
2. Eating Moshe's Falafel on 46th Street at least once a week!
3. Shakespeare in the Park! Every year!
4. Paul Simon Concert in Central Park... cant remember if it was 1992 or 1993.
5. My first Broadway Show - Cats! Couldn't afford the Orchestra seats but when a visitor- friend offered to pay for it, i was overjoyed!
6. The daily commute from Flushing Meadows to Mid-town Manhattan especially during USTA. Loved to witness the tennis matches with the comfortable feeling that we were just 10minutes away from our apartment!
7. Bumping into a Spyrogyra Concert at South Street Seaport one year... don't remember the year but the music still lingers on.
8. Walking down 5th Avenue on a bright summer day watching the world go by.....
9. Our first Ethiopian meal at an authentic Ethiopian Restaurant in the Village.
10. My first Helicopter ride from 34th Street heliport which took us around the WTC and stood hovering right next to the " Windows of the World"!
11. My first induction into Jazz music at the Blue Note. Had never seen anything like it before.
What i remember New York most for? I gave up smoking since there was not enough time for it!
