Things I Miss, in No Particular Order

Watching the beautiful costumes and graceful, lithe form of dancers at the New York City Ballet

Shopping online (without worrying about international shipping or lack thereof)

Wandering around the Met, especially the Ancient Near Eastern wing

Big stores that stock a lot of stuff in one place (Bed Bath, Walmart, Target, Container Store, Home Depot)

Being transfixed during a scene in Shakespeare in the Park and marveling at the joy of superb (free) theater

Unlimited coffee refills at Morningstar Cafe

Cheap beer and board games and a jukebox at a dirty dive bar

Charming brownstones and walk-up apartments

DVR

The brisk walk of morning commuters crossing streets and avenues as if according to a premeditated plan

Walking to North Meadow in Central Park, spreading a blanket out on the green and watching people do all kinds of weird stuff

Biting into a too-hot, crispy slice oozing with cheese and just a little too much oil, dashed with garlic salt

The mix of gritty and clean, old and new, industrial and modern, at the High Line
