Feeling out a new neighborhood
I’ve spent a decade staying at the Muse on 46th between 6th and 7th – loved it but grew tired of Times Square especially considering I could hardly ever get to a play on my trips here. But after a conversation with a colleague I opted to explore a different area of New York – the Bowery – and now find myself at the crossroads of Soho, the Village, Union Square, and a whole other New York that exudes a neighborhood feel.
I tried to get into see Sam Shepherd’s A Lie of the Mind that Ethan Hawke is putting on but unfortunately it was sold out. This is about the third play in the three times I’ve been here recently that I haven’t been able to even pay a broker a million dollars to get in and see a play that is on my list. Whatyagonnado?
So right now, my feet are trying to make a decision for me after walking many miles around this big city from here to midtown and back and around of whether to stay in with a movie and room service or go explore some more of these fabulous neighborhoods. Survey says – get your ass out of the room.
