'It may be a while before we enjoy all the things we’ve missed about our vanished restaurant world. But the urge for a good meal is strong in this great old dining city.' plattypants writes
Photo: Heritage Images/Getty Images These are the most interesting times of our lives, Platty,” one of my old colleagues said as we gathered for a welcome-back drink not long ago on what seemed to be an almost alarmingly overcrowded corner of the West Village. He was dressed for cocktail hour in a flapping blue and white mask, which he lifted occasionally so he could pop an olive into his mouth or take a sip of his drink.
Mostly I’ve missed the humming sense of community that restaurants and the thousands of people who work in them spin, hour by hour and day by day, like a web around this great dining city. I’ve missed how you don’t appreciate it, or even know it’s there, until suddenly it’s gone. Not that we ordered very much carryout in our little apartment after a while. As things dragged on through the late spring and early summer and the state of the world seemed to spiral more and more out of control, I think we lost our appetite for food in the city, which, in a place like New York, is a bit like losing your appetite for life.
