Starting to undo the past miserable eight years of hell

Incidentally, I met Rick Bowes for lunch today and the place I'd planned to go was too loud and crowded at 2pm...The other place we ended up was also loud and crowded. I was astounded that everything was so crowded. Rick says it's been like this in NYC since Election Day.

I only got home Wed night and had dinner out Thursday with the incredible Kate Eltham and Robert Hoge--at my favorite local Japanese restaurant...which was more crowded than usual.

There seems to be an optimism and sigh of deep relief in NYC--how's it in your city? Notice anything different in the past week?

I was there a few weeks ago, siteseeing with friends from out of town. It was jampacked--or at least a few blocks from you. Horrible. No more decent craftspeople/arts folk selling their wares on the street any more--all generic, mass produced trash.
