Goodbye, for now, New York City

in Life Me future 07.22.2011

Living in New York City is a completely unpredictable affair. Some mornings you wake up, stagger out of bed, and the city passionately kisses you, filling the day with idyllic charm. Other mornings begin with what feels like a perfectly timed kick, worthy of the last penalty strike in a World Cup soccer match, that lands superlatively between your legs. Often, New York City greets you with both.

After 15 years of these kisses and kicks, it’s time for me to bid mercurial New York adieu; I’m moving to San Francisco. It’s a tough farewell, to say the least, but it’s time to say goodbye.

  • Pointing at Your Wrist in 2014 08.17.2010

    I’ve never been very good at taking tests.

    Last week I wrote a story for the Bits Blog about 4Food, a new “healthy fast food” restaurant that’s opening in New York City in September.
