Manhattan Wannabe

I guess going to New York did change my perspective a bit. We were at the plaza on Sunday and it struck me just how much the area is an imitation of Manhattan. The stylish, cultured, non-poor liberals pouring out of the Unitarian Universalist church. The constant pedestrian traffic holding up vehicles. Sitting at the Panera sidewalk tables sipping a fancy coffee drink and munching healthy food. I don't know, it's more than just those individual elements, but something about the atmosphere struck me as similar.
