The cracked tiles on the street bright city lights where the jazz emanated the streets, lost like homeless pete sitting on 55th and Broadway Here comes Kate; passing through eyes never leaving her phones screen Taxis speeding through shading the cites face with their bright, yellow paint three piece suits, wing tip shoes woman's dress suits, skirts, leathers purses with gold emblems hanging in the air Macys, Perfume bottles sitting in front purses not too far behind escalators that lead up to mens and woman's clothes bustling with people moving their hands through the racks of shirts and pants as the subway rumbled just underneath their feet across Midtown East With West Village waiting on the other side of town West Village where the cobbled streets matched the grey doors to the brownstone homes as the trees stood in rows on each side of the streets sidewalks Clarity, so fluid in its peaceful descent one could lose their thoughts in its presence The village, catering to cafe's just up the block with grandmothers conversing with one another about the first time meeting their first love and young men working towards something more typing away on their laptops, sipping on dark, french roast with smidges of saliva resting on the brim of their mugs Small tables, circular with a long, white chapped table sitting against the right side of the wall as a white, backless bench sat outside a couple sat with their newborn quietly sleeping in his red carriage the young mans hand rested on her front right thigh overlooking the sunset with sounds of West Village heard along the skyline |

Having lived there, had two children born there, your description is much the way I recall it, and that was many years ago. Enjoyed this informative travelogue. ~*~ The Energizer bunny was arrested and charged with battery. ~*~ |
