There's a few things I miss about Manhattan.

Great Jazz clubs like this one.

And maybe one of favorite restaurants in the entire world, If you ever get a chance to get there you have to - HAVE TO - try the Veal Chop Parmigiana. 
It's the specialty of the house. This is it - and yes, it is that big:

Buy yourself something useful. You deserve it. 
These are great, heavy-duty tool bags. 
Get yourself a couple. I have three of them.

Get a couple for yourself for less than $ 19 bucks each.
