The Bronx is up and the Battery's down

I quite enjoyed my visit to Manhattan for Y's bachelorette party, even though I didn't get to choose much of what I was going to do. Something about that place... I think if I'd grown up there, or even spent appreciable time there at any point, no other place could ever really exist for me. I love that and fear it both... I kind of value the idea that right now I think I could get along in any of four cities, you know? But, addictive or not, NYC sure is wonderful. :)
