Similar! I think my experiences were best captured by the song SOFI TUKKER - Summer In New York

A lot of this went away, not sure why. People are too glued to phones.

Summer 2020 I was out there after creating as much shareholder value as I could at my then-WFH 9-5. First it was delivering postmates on rollerblades, then I did it on my bike (working better and better apps every time to offset the depreciation inherent to riding a bike), then I'd just do a 4 boro bike tour Brooklyn over the Pulaski bridge up to Astoria, get souvlaki, take the Triboro to the Bronx and then head to Manhattan on a different bridge every time (High Bridge is still my fave). Just putting up like 40–60 mile rides noodling around that town. There's no better way to see the city, and no better place to bop around on a bike, in my experience.
