This was such a pleasure to read. Especially since I can see that Essex sign from out my window! It made me feel so appreciative for my own memories I'm cultivating with my husband in Manhattan, and nostalgic for this bygone era. :)

NEVER BEFORE (and never after?) as in the Late 1990s NYC was So Cool, So Safe, So Clean, So Vibrant, So Beautiful, So Energetic, So Full of Life, So Iconic, So Effervescent, So Dynamic, So Cosmopolitan, So Productive, So Ambitious, So Refreshing, So Influential, So, So, So…

Very Fortunate and Very Happy of having lived in NYC in the Late 1990s - at its Peak & its truly GILDED AGE!

Such a beautiful tribute to your parents' experience living in NYC. Seems like a dream! I grew up watching the same romcoms as you, and always romanticized the city, too. I'm Canadian, but my husband and I got engaged in NYC, and go back often because it's our happy place. You captured such a special feeling of being there at a different time, and I felt like I was transported there reading this!

Like a beautiful fairytale, indeed the NYC many like myself can only dream about, privileged, strong, full of promises kept, an unending flow of opportunities and most beautiful memories made for an equally beautiful future. Thanks for sharing 🤓🇺🇸💯
