New York City

On The Midtown Bus With The Master Himself

4 min read

This is a short travel story. It only runs the distance of a bus ride from Second Avenue and about 65th Street, down to Saint Mark’s Place in the East Village. In New York City. 

Though its time-frame is compact, this journey still has a workable beginning, middle and end. It begins where it should and ends right on the dot, just like a bus schedule. It times out perfectly.  You’ll see.

This is a New York kind of story about a New York kind of trip. I love traveling to that tough talking town and there was a special bonus this time: I got to cross paths with a couple of Wise Guys.  Plus a future mayor of New York and a New York Times reporter.  Like I said, it was a New York kind of trip.
