Lately I've felt like New York is turning into a bit of a theme park. Everything is turning into a popup experience/temporary museum, a speakeasy, an overpriced fast-casual restaurant, a Wework or a luxury apartment building. The people around me used to sound like characters from "Seinfeld" now all I see are instagram influencers and couples who "oh my god, we love the city!".

Miss those days when you could get a $8 Bulleit Rye with a splash of club soda at bar that didn't have a 100 tv screens. I think I've become a tired old hipster.
