Why do New Yorkers tolerate dirty, deafening streets and typically reside in tiny, pricey apartments that rival veal cages? A key reason is that Gotham City is Disneyland for grown-ups. America’s largest metropolis offers infinite options for world-class cultural and culinary enrichment among millions of others who relish these joys.
After more than 30 years as a New Yorker, I most recently girded myself for all of this last Friday, December 29. That’s when I rode my bicycle in shorts and a T-shirt through Temecula, Calif. I was concluding a delightful and sunny fortnight with my sainted parents and blessed sisters. My last day of vacation hit 86 degrees beneath sapphire skies and Vitamin D–rich rays.
