This Blackout Vs. The Last One

And only parts of NYC were blacked out.

But it's lasting an eternity.

An eternity of dark stair climbing and relieving oneself into paper bags.

And that damned tuna.

And it's way colder than last time!

But the cell phones work.

And a few places stand out in the murk:

Mustang Sally's, on 28th and 7th, was one of the few restaurants open in that area on Tuesday, and though it was absolute madness, service-wise--understandably, considering the hordes who piled in--they were lovely little miracle workers and totally pulled it together.

Also, you could charge your phone in the lobby of the AMC Empire Theater when no one was looking.

Cheers to NYC for standing tall amidst one more horror.

Though I should add that it's not over yet.
