  Aah ! New York, New York, a wonderful town, the Bronx is up and the
Batterries down, the people ride through a hole in the ground
...............

  The reality every bit as good as the idea.

  The Staten Island Ferry will always be a 1st, but the missus won't fly,
now does that make any sense ?

  Also, I'd pick up a weekly called 'Village Voice' for the best gig guide,
if it still exists, god willing.

  Kate ?
