I’ve been sitting at this cafe on the corner of Grand and Havemeyer in Williamsburg for a couple of hours now and something funny just happened: the internet connection went out. And what, praytell, do you get when you cross a cafe full of Laptonians and no internet connection? A rare glimpse into mankind. Cue […]

This is Eric. Second from left. He’s 24. i I met him on my walk through Union Square on Saturday. He was at a ‘March for Bernie’ event. I asked him why he thought Bernie Sanders should be the next president of the United States of America. He said Bernie was ‘for the people’ and […]

This is Eric and his dog, Luna. I met them on the corner of 78th and Broadway on my walk to Central Park this morning. They’d been there since 3:00am. Eric asked me if I could spare some change but I gave him my hazelnut iced drink instead and told him I’d buy him a bowl […]

What are all these people working on? What’s on their laptops? I know I’m technically here on a ‘holiday’ but fuck me, I feel useless. I bet they’re typing away on a screenplay or a memoir about growing up hipster. I bet they’re getting paid for it, too. Not like me. I check Facebook, look up […]

Is a New Yorker any specific kind of person really or have I just made it all up? I’ve always told myself that they are loud and over-the-top and confident and strike up conversation at the drop of a hat.
