Visiting neighbors

On a tip from SC, I took a walk over to Fulton Street for the Downtown Visiting Neighbors Festival, taking place in the financial district this Friday afternoon.

Who are these “visiting neighbors”? Italian sausage purveyors? Chinese masseuses? French crêpe-makers?

A block from the festival, I ran into DD who just then was returning to his office from lunch. Funny to think how it’s been almost a decade since I first met his sister, and though it’s been several years since she left New York — another defector! — I still cross paths with DD around town with startling regularity. It is primarily through these happy, random meetings that we’re all still able to maintain tenuous tabs on each other’s lives.

This city is the biggest small town in the world.
