PAUL
It was not just New York City that opened before me as I stepped out of my
apartment block on 125th Street. It was Harlem, where I had been living for
several years in a run-down building. The morning sun cast long shadows
down the buzzing streets, commuters were running to catch their trains, and
boys who hadn’t been to bed yet were playing hip-hop out of their car
windows.
I was on my way to work Downtown. My journey to Spring Street in SoHo
was an all- too-familiar routine by now: the slog through the heart of New
York City at rush hour.
I made my way to the subway station. The sound of honking horns and
blaring sirens filled the air, a constant reminder of the city’s enormousness
and drive. From open stall fronts, the smells of freshly brewed coffee and hot
pretzels drifted on the air, but I would wait till I was Downtown to get
something to eat.
I had to rush. I was almost late. I looked at my phone to check the transport
app to see which subway line was going to be quicker today: the 6 or the 4.
Going down to the platforms, I faced the familiar choice between the two.
Today, I opted for the 6 train, but it was so heavy with bodies, elbows in your
ribs, someone’s oversized bag hitting your back.
The train roared through the cavernous tunnels as it hurtled along the spine
of Manhattan. Inside, a mosaic of distracted faces was staring at phones, and
now and then, different languages could be heard; this was the fabric of the
metropolitan city.
Emerging at the other end of my route, I found myself coming out into the
smarter atmosphere of Spring Street, the heart of SoHo. The area was
Downtown at both its hippest and sleekest. The cobblestone streets echoed a
rhythm of footsteps and crisp conversations on cellphones. The streets were
solid with gleaming black SUVs. I don’t know much about cars, but those
looked more like tanks, only driven by socialites.
Storefronts were adorned with colorful displays of artwork and high
fashion. Tall, slim women in coats that looked like they cost more than my
monthly rent perused the windows while waiting for a friend to go for coffee.
All around, people in both business suits and arty outfits talked on cell phones
in loud and confident voices.
Maybe I wasn’t that much like those people, even though I worked here,
too. I am one of those guys who works around there, not shops around
there…
My office building was ahead, a sleek parade of windows shimmering in
the morning sunlight in a red-brick facade. It was very SoHo – it couldn’t
have been more SoHo. Friendly receptionists and discreet security guards
flanked its entrance. The media offices inside did not want any unruly
intruders. It all tried to feel very cool, but it was also very secure.
