With my wife's photography hobby we spend a lot of time in NYC as she loves to take pictures of interesting people. No surprise most of these people are in the city and not in our hometown.
So we Tavel in most weekends, pick a locale and snap away. A hot spot is the meatpacking district just below Chelsea. Photos usually give way to shopping in trendy stores with overpriced merchandise and very young salespeople. Invariably and despite our best attempts to look like natives, we are asked, how long will you be in town, where are you visiting from and whe do you live?
When we are in a locale that is inhabited by "people of a certain age" our age, we never get asked the question. Is it that obvious that our hip veneer is just that in the city and do we really belong in Boca Del Vista!
