If you're in town tomorrow night, come by and help us say goodbye to NYC before we move to San Francisco. (The move is next week!) We'll be at the Westside Tavern starting at 9pm. Westside Tavern is on 23rd at 9th Avenue.

Too bad it's not today... I'm flying tomorrow afternoon.
Anyway... godspeed, farewell, adios... I'll see you next time, when you come "to visit". (that will probably hit you hard).
Best of lucks in SF.
Too bad you chose this weekend. I'll probably visit upstate early Sat., so I'll miss the chance to raise a glass to you.
All the best.
(BTW, I think I saw you near Penn Station last weekend)
Since you didn't post about it, I'm using this spot to offer up congrats on the SEO win. I enjoyed your post the original time around and I'm glad that you were able to prove that you don't have to resort to spamming.

Anil,
Sorry I can't make it tonight.
To your readers: My new web site is a result of Anil's intervention, whether he knows it or not. Last year he posted a link to something in my sidebar of "found" words (on the old web site, World New York), commenting that it was the part of the site he liked best. I thought about it and realized I liked it best, too. My new job as a lexicographer made it an easy decision, so the sidebar became a web site full of such found words. Anil's judgment on small things is as pinpoint-accurate as it is on the large.
Anil, I'm sorry to read you're leaving New York. There's an interesting sense of omnipresence here in New York City that I've never quite felt anywhere else I've been--not in Paris, Stockholm, Bogotá, Caracas, Athens, anywhere. Even if one doesn't often do, see, or know all the good things, places, or people here in this chaos, it's encouraging to have them all in one place. It's the ever-dawn polar shadow people cast. They're around even when they're not around. You're one of those people who casts a welcome silhouette. Do come back often.
Cheers,
Grant
hey, anyone need a fake boyfriend or girlfriend ?! LOL

Anil, I am sorry that I never got a chance to meet you here in New York (although I saw footage of you in a cab at Union Square once, in the blogumentary, talking about 9-11). Enjoy San Francisco, the second-best city in the U.S. And don't forget to update your geolocation metadata.
