, where I saw comedy legends, as well as tomorrow's sitcom writers and "SNL" performers for $5 a show and $2 PBRs — fare thee well.
The third wave of the pandemic has put the City That Never Sleeps on the cusp of being shuttered once again. There's nothing to do but mourn the lost and the soon-to-be lost.Last week, on a rickety sidewalk table in Queens, I ordered a couple of greasy cheese slices, slid to me through a window by a Sicilian immigrant who's operated his no-frills joint for more than two decades.
I thought about how, over the past two decades, as I shed my youth and assumed the relentless responsibility that comes with parenthood, how few of the establishments where I made my memories had survived, even before the pandemic. I miss my old New York, just as everyone who lived in and loved this city misses their New York. But I'm still nostalgia-skeptical, because professional nostalgists aren't so much historians as they are fetishists.lamenting the loss
