That moment when it started snowing
Because nothing says the second weekend in May in NYC more than a few minutes of snow flurries in the late afternoon... video clip here by Michael Quinn from St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue... outside the dearly departed Gem Spa...

I don't know why, but that Gem Spa clip made me tear up.. It's really over for Gem Spa. Time passes, and you can't get an old fashion egg cream anywhere anymore. You don't buy newspapers and magazines anymore, you read them on your phone. It will become vacant, probably for a long time, then something completely devoid of any connection, character or meaning will take its place. Bye Gem Spa, R.I.P., I will whisttfully remember you every now and then.
ReplyDeleteThey’ll probably be closed for a while, but Yonah Schimmel has a pretty worthy egg cream as I recall.
ReplyDeleteand RAY's on avenue A, best egg cream on any planet!
