I am so happy about this interview. I’m a performer and was based in NYC for over a decade; I moved back to the Baltimore area March 1 this year after losing my dad to cancer. Seemed like the right move. I was in the city earlier this month for a gig and all I wanted to do was walk the city. I’m still broke, so protein bars and long walks were my diet for two days. 12 days Sunday, 9 miles Monday, including a ramble from the West Village down 6th Ave to Canal, across the Manhattan Bridge to Roulette to see a friend play. Tuesday morning, Chelsea for the galleries. Took myself for a fine Italian lunch, and walked to Penn to catch Amtrak. So civilized, so lovely, so NYC. I’m headed back at the end of July for rehearsals in Astoria - I love Queens! My hit list includes M Wells, Long Island City, and the Queens Museum, across that magical park with the giant metal globe surrounded by a fountain, a relic of the Worlds Fair. Exquisite place to visit during the pandemic, when there were no live sports events at the stadiums nearby.
