Gosh, such great contributions on this first day of 2023. I miss that feeling of extended family, the way total strangers interact so comfortably, the way New Yorkers (whether native or naturalized) reach out to connect in myriad ways. To my friends and family back in New York, and the Metropolitan Diary community around the world, I wish you all a wonderful, healthy, and fulfilling 2023!
