Manhattan alive

Spent most of the day around Midtown today, and it felt alive, for the most part. Admittedly, Taam Tov, my favorite restaurant, was largely empty, but that was totally fine with me. My old girlfriend Hilary and I were able to grab a table by the window and catch up easily without having to raise our voices.

Apparently occupancy in NYC offices was up to 46% by the end of September, the highest it had been since the pandemic got started. That pretty much jibes with my anecdotal impressions: there are people out there, but nothing feels overcrowded. Places are shut down here and there, but it's not too terrible.

Kevin just came in so I should hang with him.
