“there’s a Westsider amongst us” —Nick Smith on Tom Townsend in #WhitStillman’s #Metropolitan (1990). I feel the #NewYork I’m living is decidedly stuck somewhere in the past. It’s part #MollyDodd, part Metropolitan, & part early #Seinfeld, so we’re talking ‘87-‘92 on the #upperwestside, but not really. There still are a ton of old businesses, including hardware stores where gruff clerks go, “whaddya need?” I love going to restaurants where I’m the youngest person there & everyone seems like a regular. I love the fact that #CentralPark is to the east & #RiversidePark is to the west. The MTA knew way back when, red trains 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ for communists ☭ & green trains 4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣ for money💰, which explains my lot in life all too well. 😂 . .
