August 2001, Mom brought me to the Top of the World, also known as the World Trade Center.
One month later, tears fell as the towers fell. I watched in stunned disbelief. "I was just there..."
Tonight, I visited the Top of the World again. Bringing NYC full circle in a way. The new One World Observatory opened recently in lower Manhattan. A perfect place to reflect on the seven years survived in New York City!!
All day I've been revisiting the best & worst of my time here. One thing that keeps making me smile is the little life I've created at 377 Greenwich St. Little did I know when I came down to Tribeca to interview at Locanda Verde, that I'd spend the next 6 years on this block!
Robert DeNiro walked in Day One and we've been smiling at each other ever since! I miss my mornings with Bob & decided long ago THAT would be the title of my memoir. God only knows when my time will end at The Greenwich, but what a unique existence I've stumbled into.
One thing is certain, NYC stole my heart 14 years ago & I don't know if I'll ever get it back <3 p="">
