Two obligatory comments: 1. Manhattan is not NYC. There are five, count them, five boroughs. Didn’t Johnny T on Glove and Boots teach you numbskulls nothin’? Manhattan is one borough. The author would probably wet his pants if he stepped into Brooklyn, and require a full adult diaper if he found himself on Staten Island. (Exaggeration for humorous effect, but he should know better.) 2. The “how dare you kick my dog,…

I grew up in Manhattan in the 1970s. There was only one borough that mattered. Nobody gave a fuck about any of the others.

I suppose it's different now, parts of Brooklyn might matter.

Mr. Richard Feder of Fort Lee, New Jersey, is that you? Roseanne Roseannadanna says "you belong in New Jersey".

Soho is packed with outdoor diners. I went from phone call to CT Scan in 17 mins at NYP hospital. Museums open August 24. Whole Food delivers to my front door. Your local herb friend probably does too. And how many Apple Stores? Got my new NYC lease. Landlord raised the rent. Guess he’s not buying the doom and gloom? NYC will do just fine. We’ll figure it out. :-)

Landlord raised the rent? Seems strange in a city where rents are down 10 to 20 percent and everyone is asking for concessions. Maybe you should renegotiate.
