someone passed along a chain email to me once which listed a lot of the crazy little things that you get used to and take for granted living in NYC. people think that city folk aren't friendly but yesterday i was all psyched for my morning coffee (i love "street" coffee and detest starbucks) and my coffee guy was not at his usual post on 7th ave......for a minute I got worried that something terrible might have happened and ran out of the subway this morning hoping to find him safe and sound......turns out his wife had a baby boy yesterday and he was back hard at work today! see how lovely our little city can be?
