I just read that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex will be closing at the beginning of January. I hope that’s not a rumor. I was there in July and enjoyed it very much!

There are tons of great things about NY, but the tops are the history, the food and the people.

There are many things about New York that I love, but the most incredible thing there besides Wall Street, shopping, Broadway, etc., is the PIZZA!! New York has the best pizza of any place in the world.

Can anyone think of a reason why New York is not Special?
What was special for me during the 5 years i spent there in the early 90’s?

1. Skating at the Wollman Rink every New Years Day! My friends almost killed me one year when the wind chill was -20F! It was worth the 1hour wait at the gate!
2. Eating Moshe’s Falafel on 46th Street at least once a week!
3. Shakespeare in the Park! Every year!
4. Paul Simon Concert in Central Park… cant remember if it was 1992 or 1993.
5. My first Broadway Show – Cats! Couldn’t afford the Orchestra seats but when a visitor- friend offered to pay for it, i was overjoyed!
6. The daily commute from Flushing Meadows to Mid-town Manhattan especially during USTA. Loved to witness the tennis matches with the comfortable feeling that we were just 10minutes away from our apartment!
7. Bumping into a Spyrogyra Concert at South Street Seaport one year… don’t remember the year but the music still lingers on.
8. Walking down 5th Avenue on a bright summer day watching the world go by…..
9. Our first Ethiopian meal at an authentic Ethiopian Restaurant in the Village.
10. My first Helicopter ride from 34th Street heliport which took us around the WTC and stood hovering right next to the ” Windows of the World”!
11. My first induction into Jazz music at the Blue Note. Had never seen anything like it before.

What i remember New York most for? I gave up smoking since there was not enough time for it!

New York City is the most amazing place in the world. I’m extremely proud to be able to say that I was born there. I just wish I could have grown up there. NYC has so many wonderful things for people to see and do. It’s the original and true melting pot of the US. You can experience so many cultures in one place. It’s just perfect.

New York is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

On the plaza outside New York’s City Hall a band was performing wedding-reception standards before a lunchtime audience. The lead singer had a wireless microphone and as the band played on, he stepped from the stage into the crowd and began pushing the mic into people’s faces. He did this in turn to half a dozen or so people. Every single one of them took the cue and picked up the song in progress. What surprised me was that each could sing as well or better than the band. There was no reluctance. That was my first time in New York, long ago, and I left thinking the city was populated by vocalists who loved the spotlight. I loved that.
