I started writing this contemporaneously, i.e., while I was crashing in weird airbnb’s in Queens in early 2020. In a time when I didn’t yet wish to share that I was planning to leave New York City. In a time when I was loving it more and more.
It has since been revised for clarity, readability, and parenthetical asides about death and tragedies. Y’know, the stuff of our present historic moment.
So, this then, is the New York City that I love…
