And today I come down soundly on the side of not wanting to live here, despite the awesome dim sum in Chinatown, finally having a day where I don’t have a subway mishap, and making it to both Rare Device (owned by a longtime Internet acquaintance who sadly wasn’t in today) and Teany, long desired destination before I had any other reason to want to come to New York. The city is vibrant, busy, complicated, and full of exciting things to see, do, and eat. I’m afraid that I, however, am cut of a different cloth.

Tomorrow I hope to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, visit Coney Island, and perhaps do some shopping if anything’s open. For right now, though, it’s raining in Brooklyn, and I’m going to go sit by the window.
