When I lived in NYC, I always hung out in Union Square. I would tell everyone that I preferred to stay below 14th Street. I also loved going to Washington Square Park...glad you hit the non-tourist destinations! I just found your blog. When I lived in NYC, I always hung out in Union Square.

I think that's what has changed most for me after having lived in the city for close to a decade. Someone could walk by with an extra limb, or naked, or with their hair on fire and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't flinch, glance or double-take in their direction. Everyone here is wildly different and some super strange people mingle amongst the masses.

I feel that way a lot, and I'm with a woman who likes to plan everything out. That can be great, amazing a lot of the time, actually. But reading your post made me feel proud (instead of ashamed, like usual) of being the kind of guy who just wants to go with the flow and see what happens, see what I find.

I wholeheartedly agree about how good it can feel to just get lost in a new place on a sunny afternoon -- no itinerary, no plan. I laughed out loud at the juxtaposition of "child-sized" and "Absolut bottle" -- now that's a lot more exciting in a lunchbox than a juice box or milk carton!
