• I'm afraid to go over and look at the signs posted around the big dig at Ground Zero. The most unnerving thing is the Deutsche Bank building with the front clawed out of it and offices humming with activity surrounding it.
• I walked around Tribeca and read the palimpsest written there. Bubby's used to be Peter Dent's. Wow, Puffy's is still around! Wonder if that annoying guy still lives there. Shit, I coulda bought that loft for $400k in 1994.
• Lincoln said in the post below that my getting a strawberry milkshake for Stewart at midnight was love. But that wasn't love. I was hungry and looking for food myself. Love was getting him the Gatorade at 4 AM.
• The wind today was the kind of wind that tips cars. I saw 5 people lose their hats.
• If we hadn't been so near the gravitational force field issuing from Century 21, I wouldn't have had to buy the Costume National coat, I swear. It is fabulous and makes me look like a priest. Fortunately, I didn't buy the absurd John Galliano pants that I was attracted to. They were made of leopard print cowhide, ribbons and grommets.
• Went to the opening of the State of Play conference. This will be an interesting and odd conference: lawyers and game designers. Lawyers make a pretty tough audience; they are expert at picking apart argument. Raph Koster and Richard Bartle seemed to be handling the questions well, but I imagine they might flummox some of the other speakers. One of the first public speaking assignments I got when I was 23 was to a room full of lawyers. They tore me into tiny shreds without the least pity. I think I cried.
• Walking back downtown with Ben I found a fabulous readymade: a smashed cardboard egg carton, one with slots for 25 eggs. It is gorgeous and I think I will frame it when I get home.

And The Square Diner, which used to make a decent ham and egg sandwich. That surprised me too.
Caterina | November 14, 2003 8:55 AMAny chance that loft was at 20 North Moore Street of Kennedy Jr. fame? I used to work in the neighborhood, and was always passing by it on the way to work. One day all these flowers just appeared in front of the building, and I guess that was the one year anniversary of the accident.
I now live across the street from Ground Zero, so downtown is sort of my hood, even though I rarely stay in it, and tend to gravitate towards Brooklyn or the Village. I think, though, that while the demographics of the neighborhoods have changed, there is a unique mentality in people who've chosen to live somewhere so non-residential, where the nearest grocery store or dry cleaner might be a huge trek.
No need to remind you that you should have bought that loft.
PS | November 14, 2003 6:59 PMIt's been Bubby's since 95 , i think. And I recommend the curry noodles and a large cappuccino at the Franklin Station Cafe, er, when you are both back on solid food.
tim | November 15, 2003 3:00 PMWhen I lived there in 93-94 it had already changed over...previously, circa 88-89, I'd had a job on N. Moore, which I call North Moore in spite of all the snobby people who insist that it's Nathaniel Moore when it was Peter Dent's -- a gourmet food shop and deli.

{ Post a comment }
Wow, Puffy's is still around!
Boy, that brings back memories. Puffy's was one of my first hangouts when I moved to NYC over twenty years ago; back then, Tribeca (a name that still sounded new and weird) was dark and dead at night, and when you left Puffy's it was like being in an uninhabited city. Great jukebox, great crowd... I haven't been by there in years, and I'm glad to hear it's still around.
