I would love to take Darren to Washington Square Park for an early evening of people-watching. At any given moment one can experience the best humanity has to offer – community and togetherness. Under the shadow of that gorgeous arch gather families and friends, community meet-up groups, and individuals who offer their talent for others’ enjoyment. Magicians, trick-performing dogs, tai chi practitioners, LARPers, musicians and dancers – all just enjoying life and each other. The atmosphere is joyful and electric, making it a wonderful place to just be. It is easy, too, to blend in and enjoy an intimate conversation, becoming part of the scene – background noise. This experience is best enjoyed with a friend, or future friend, and some banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery. :)
