Granted I grew up in western PA, so I do feel I stand out a bit, even dressed head-to-toe in urban black with trendy shoes. I am wondering if in your catagories of New Yorkers (as an UWSer I do not have a baby bump or stroller, nor a husband who makes $$$$$$) I may add one: the poor New Yorker. You know that one, the one who takes the cheap, tiny apt to live in a nice neighborhood. The one who considers going out to dinner a trip to the Chirping Chicken & doesn't recognize the names Babbo or Del Posto (suddenly concerned with her nails when collagues discuss the two). {sigh} Maybe we're just too sad to write about.<br><br>Meanwhile, bring on the entry about the desert at Cafe Mozart. I'm ready for a little splurge!JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15093988419815575563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450808110059863576.post-55628955399614781192007-06-01T23:13:00.000-04:002007-06-01T23:13:00.000-04:00Loved the list and was nodding in agreement throug...Loved the list and was nodding in agreement through each one.<br><br>Re: enjoying new places in the city -- you HAVE to love that! One of reasons I love having guests come to visit is an "excuse" to go to the Top of the Rock, the circle line, museums and -- oh yes -- the Charmin store in Times Square. When you stop finding new spots and getting excited, it's time to cash in your NY chips.<br><br>I'd love to hear about the circumstances of your move to Inwood.Columbiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09376294610920125521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450808110059863576.post-2063492498416144462007-06-02T08:21:00.000-04:002007-06-02T08:21:00.000-04:00LOVED your post.

Everyone knows the brainwashing that happens with prolonged stickershock, like shopping at the Barney's sale. (Oh, a pair of almost see-through hotpants for $300? What a bargain!)<br><br>You so lucky to have lived in that neighborhood. A bunch of great restaurants over there, including Sarabeths.<br><br>I look forward to reading your other posts!Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450808110059863576.post-16682352673542113452007-06-02T13:05:00.000-04:002007-06-02T13:05:00.000-04:00JC - You're absolutely right!

Hence the move to Inwood.<br><br>Columbia - I've never been to the Charmin store, I'll have to add that to my list. Good idea about a move post, perhaps it could be a two part series. My search on the UWS, and the subsequent looking of the eyes to the North.<br><br>Kitty - I loved the movie Amelie! Your Barney's hotpants example made me laugh, and Sarabeth's has the best brunch. They're on my list to write about. :)I. M. Bitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12600635017582990845noreply@blogger.com
