I guess this is what they call a New York moment. After being trapped on the F for an hour because of the power outage I emerged to see dark restaurants & traffic lights, civilians directing traffic, & an evacuated Carnegie Hall concert happening in the street. #nyc #Blackout

I was at work in the Staten Island Mall (remember Walden Books?) and there was utter, glorious chaos.

I also remember Son of Sam...everyone was afraid to go parking. It put a crimp on many a teen-aged love life.
