NY, NY

I find it crazy how big of a difference New York is right now compared to San Francisco. New York has effectively gone back to life as it was pre-pandemic. Bars and restaurants are packed. I walked by a few places last night that were packed to the brims. People are back to going to the office full time again.

Meanwhile in San Francisco, everyone is still largely working from home. Masks are required in gyms. Downtown SF is still a ghost town during the work day.

It’s a bit depressing. While I know SF will never be the same as NY, there just feels like a lack of energy in the city. I’m hoping we get back to some semblance of normalcy in SF sooner than later.

I’m in NY for 2 more days. I absolutely love this city, but it’s always exhausting. I’m beat and taking tonight easy before I close out the work week tomorrow.
