I’m going into Manhattan for a close friend’s birthday party tomorrow night. I’ve lived here for over a year and I’m only a half-hour train ride from Penn Station, but I still have only gone into NYC a handful of times. It’s weird.
For the first eighteen years of my life, the closest city to me was Philly and, from 18 – 34, I lived in that city. So, I’m not nearly as familiar with New York (there’s only so much you can learn from a trip into the city for a Broadway show or to meet someone for dinner) and, as a result, I’m not nearly as comfortable. Plus, the trains back to NJ stop running shortly after 1 a.m., which isn’t a big deal since I’m old, but it’s still much harder than getting home from other cities.

Here’s what I published this week:
