I live upstate now but I’m a born and bred native NYC’er (south Bronx) and some of my best memories of living in the city was helping strangers/tourists navigate it. One memory that sticks out was back in the day I was walking near west 4th and this guy was trying to figure out how to get to the blue note. I told him he was literally steps from it. I walked him around the corner from the bball court and showed him. He was super thankful and I went about my business to meet friends across the street at fat black Pussycat. He ended up coming there about 30 mins later for a pre show drink. He spotted me coming out of the bathroom I didn’t see him at first. I’m chilling at the bar with my friends and he walks up to us and says thank you to me again and tells the bartender to give us a round on him. Well a round turned into 5 he never made the blue note we ended up going to see my friends band at Groove and he hung with us all night. We ended up at the diner after the last set turns out he was a music producer from Amsterdam he paid for everything the entire night it was a group of 15 of us.. and he was so nice and happy that he had a real “New York experience”……
