Metropolitan Diary

And He’s Back
Dear Diary:

My in-laws had an apartment on Fifth Avenue across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art for many years.

Whenever I visited and would go out, whatever time of day, the expression of wonder on my face must have been obvious because the doorman would usually say the same thing: “We now rejoin New York City, which is already in progress.”
