Instant Gratification
-the night's view uptown from my roof on 5th street
-walking down the street feeling low, then have a friendly dog walk by to make you smile.
-hearing 5 different languages in under 5 minutes as you walk
-my white ass singing in a gospel choir
-the 26th street flee market
-mud truck coffee, black
-the homeless man who tells me he's sorry someone stole my wallet and then offers me a dollar for my troubles
-yellow cabs
-it never seems like night hits times square
-sunday brunch
-the straightest streets in the world
-no one seems to close their curtains or blinds and it's okay to look

The Pretzels
Specifically A big (sometimes stale, but who cares) hot pretzel in Rockefeller center around Christmastime when the tree is up and eveyone makes an effort to be at least a little bit joyful. Yum!
Peace on earth and goodwill to all New Yorkers, both actual and those currently living elsewhere...Hugs to you all! :banana:
