Farewell to NYC
36 years ago this month I went on a blind date with a Brooklyn College CO-ED. We dined at the Sum Hey Rice shop in Chinatown. Spent hours eating and talking, found out how much we had in common.
Left Chinatown and crossed Canal Street for a dessert and coffee at La Bella Ferrara in Little Italy. Dropped her off in the wee hours of the morning.
Six months later we were married and never looked back.
Last night that Lady and I had dinner at Wo Hop in Chinatown (Sum Hey has long since closed). We crossed Canal St. and had Cappuccino and pastry at La Bella Ferrara in Little Italy.
In 71 days we will leave NY to settle into our home in Hadley. NYC has been a large part of our history together.
Last night was our farewell dinner to NYC.
