quote 19:45:56
I don’t think I am alone in joking that San Francisco and New York have, effectively, become neighbourhoods to one another. This is especially true if you take a red-eye between the two cities and manage to sleep during the flight only to wake up on the subway inbound to Manhattan. Given how awful the buses are in San Francisco it feels easier, conceptually (or emotionally) at least, to leave the Mission and go for breakfast in Brooklyn than it does to travel to the Marina for dinner.
