There's a few things I miss about Manhattan.

 And certainly strolling through Washington Square Park and listening to the jazz bands is on the top of that list... 

... 

And Dancing in the streets of Little Italy...
 
... 

... 

I miss affordable theater and half-price tickets 
from Times Square. Broadway's been shut down 
for almost two years now, but you can see 
some shows for $ 200+ if you have vaccine 
passport. Gimme a fuckin' break...
... 

Bryant Park behind the greatest Library in the world.

Street gyros in Lower Manhattan.
 
... 

Strolling through Central Park at dusk.
... 

Concerts at The Garden
...

The outdoor cafes in the spring and fall.

The view from the bar at the Mandarin Hotel on Columbus Circle across from the Trump Hotel.
... 

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.
