on UWS

What I miss about the Upper West Side:

- chic moms with their uber flat abs and Prada strollers
- the stoop where R. and I sat for two hours because she was drunk and I was heartbroken
- the cell phone store that replaced the Thai restaurant where LennyNYC and I had an awkward first (and last) date
- the purse man in front of our apartment that sells items that only look appealing from across the street
- the $1.50 raisin walnut rolls at Grand Daisy Bakery
- the boutiques with one price-tag-less dress in the window and five-too-many saleswomen lounging in the background
- walking up five floors to my apartment with C. and resting on the fourth. every time.
