The East and Such

I have no idea why I'm leaving New York. But I will miss many things...

On Connecticut:

-Did you know that Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mark Twain were neighbors?
-Episcopalians.
-People in America DO play croquet. And they all live in Connecticut.
-Key places: Greenwich, West Hartford, Essex, and Litchfield


On Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties:

-Yes, there are people who live in the Hamptons full time
-Hipsters come here, but just don't want to admit it. They say they are just stopping by on their way to the Bronx.
-Key Places: Brookville, East Hampton, Tarrytown


And finally, On New York City

-Though I love Pilsen-- SoHo, Brooklyn, and the Lower East Side make Pilsen look like Wicker Park. Downside? Greenwich Village smells like Diarrhea in August.
-Food
-In LA, Britney Spears is an artist. In NYC, Wallace Shawn is an artist.
-Key Places: everywhere
