December 5, 2022 - “Especially when it’s dark and the city is silent, almost.”

One way to see Eighth Avenue at five in the morning is on a bicycle. I’d recommend this way, especially in December, especially when it’s dark and the city is silent, almost. I like cycling slowly in the middle of the giant avenue; where cabs roam during the day, requiring weaving into, out of, then in between lanes. As soon as the sun comes up, it’s like the night was never there at all.
