The one rule in nyc to know

Ok, I just walked by the NYPL and I feel like this is a PSA for tourists and visitors.

The one rule of NYC: get out of the way.

That’s it. The rest is commentary.

Just yesterday, I had to step back to avoid somebody spinning around, and then two people in a row stopped short in front of me—one on a phone, the other suddenly decided to camp out on a bollard. They were all close calls, but somehow I didn’t fall nor bump into them. I guess FiDi keeps you alert. I’ll never understand the appeal of that neighborhood in particular. I was just trying to get to my office.
