Seeing [Woody] Allen at the 92nd St. Y is the closest thing Manhattan has to seeing the Pope give a blessing in St. Peter’s Square. And his followers come out in droves for the pilgrimage. The event had been sold out for weeks, but there were still a large share of people standing outside hoping to score spare tickets.
Of course, as can be the case at the 92nd St. Y, the actuality didn’t quite live up to the billing, and what transpired was a pleasant, if not quite razor-sharp discussion on the topic of nostalgia. (via Woody Allen’s kind of crowd, patrons of the 92nd St. Y, pull up chairs for a nostalgia trip | Capital New York)
