A few years ago my friend Pat and I spent two weeks in the East Village and we ate at several of the places mentioned here in Gabrielle Hamilton's article, including Prune. To think that these places may no longer be around once this fucking virus is through with us is sad. Hamilton's piece here is so well written and so heartfelt, it transcends the restaurant business and could be seen as a metaphor for so much more in life.
Pour yourself a cocktail this afternoon or a glass of wine or beer or ice tea or a cup of coffee, sit down and take the time to read this. I think you will appreciate it. If the link doesn't open, go to nytimes.com and under the banner, click on Magazine. You should be able to find it there.

Beautiful article, especially about the need for human social connection. New York is an intense place. This experience is changing all of us in ways we don't and won't understand until we are on the other side. Hopefully more for the better. But who knows?
