David, you are one of my all-time favorite forum members. I'm still bummed I had to miss that one coffee chat you hosted, because I never got to meet you in person. I was in NYC recently and you popped into my head, actually. I had such a great time there, and I wasn't even on vacation. There's nothing like heading to the subway every day to be in Midtown by 8 a.m. pursuing a dream to feel you're in THE city where anything is possible. That energy was contagious and I have to say, I've never felt anything like that anywhere else. At the same time, I experienced and observed some things that helped me to understand why so many ex New Yorkers come to Buenos Aires and appreciate it so much. They are both very different, very special cities.
I've got less than 48 hours in BA myself. I hope you come back and tell us how things are going! Eat a bagel for me (for all of us!)
