Awesome contribution. I am more than a few years removed from living in 550sq ft in NYC but we did figure out ways to do dinner parties off a coffee table and drank much better wine for the same as you'd spend on shitty wines by the glass somewhere else - and more of it. Just had a conversation with a friend from those days who agreed they were some of our very best memories in the city.
Omg — my first draft had a “why don’t you…” section (which I pulled out of bullet points and into regular sentences here) but I love DV and couldn’t appreciate your comment more!

Such a lovely essay that reminded me of Diana Vreeland’s “Why Don’t You…” series of columns.
