Dear Diary:
My belief that New Yorkers know it all was sadly modified on a recent visit from Miami.
Leaving the public library, I hailed a taxi and gave the driver my Greenwich Village hotel address. Several minutes went by as he fiddled with the GPS map and then said: “Lady, this is my first day and I don’t know where you are going. Please get out.â€
As I exited the cab I wished him good luck, thinking he would certainly need it.
