David Sedaris Quotes
It Was Generally Agreed That A Coffin-size Studio On Avenue D Was Preferable To Living In One Of The Boroughs. Moving From One Brooklyn Or Staten Island Neighborhood To Another Was Fine, But Unless You Had Children To Think About, Even The Homeless Saw It As A Step Down To Leave Manhattan. Customers Quitting The Island For Astoria Or Cobble Hill Would Claim To Welcome The Change Of Pace, Saying It Would Be Nice To Finally Have A Garden Or Live A Little Closer To The Airport. They'd Put A Good Face One It, But One Could Always Detect An Underlying Sense Of Defeat. The Apartments Might Be Bigger And Cheaper In Other Places, But One Could Never Count On Their Old Circle Of Friend Making The Long Trip To Attend A Birthday Party. Even Washington Heights Was Considered A Stretch. People Referred To It As Upstate New York, Though It Was Right There In Manhattan.
