I grew up in NYC, and went to school and university there, too. It's not the same city. It's gone. Haven't been there since February 2020, a month before the shutdown commenced. No plans to visit again. Ever. Told my family and friends (the ones who aren't covidiots) that we can meet up in Florida or another free state.
I hope we win against this tyranny so we all can go back to traveling freely. I haven't flown since just after TSA introduced scanning. If I can't drive or sail, I just don't go.

We are of identical mindset.
Thanks for your comment BT!
Did the tourist jaunt there from TO in 2018...only a long weekend and missed so many things...but why would I return now? Sadness.
I went to college in NYC but grew up in SF. You want to see a city that's "gone" you should check out SF. NYC, as bad as it is, isn't even close.
I lived in NY a few times in the 70's and 80's, visited in the 90's. I loved walking the streets of NY. The city had a palpable pulse.
Lived in SF for a bit in late 2018 as well.
The streets were kind of scary (I'm not easily frightened though) but its architecture so beautiful.
I very much miss wintering in the USA.

I am prohibited from driving or sailing into the States as well as flying. 😭
Lots of places I’ll never see because I waited too long.
Watch Rick Steves on PBS…
The photography is well done literally “just like being there” sans the smells and stupidity of Airline folk… 🤣
Sadly, I get the feeling Rick Steve's is fully jabbed. I'd love to be wrong
London is the same.
Such a shame... I went to school in London as well. Visited many times for work and pleasure. It used to be my favorite city :-(
