Via It’s about time.
Daily Dish blogger and former Diner regular Andrew Sullivan announced today that he will leave New York City after a kind of miserable year and return to Washington, D.C., where he belongs, next month.
I miss my DC apartment (1500 square feet of a school classroom I got for a steal in 1991); I miss my friends, many of whom I’ve known for decades, and some of whom I bonded deeply with during the plague years of my 20s and 30s; I miss the relative calm; I miss the green; I miss the increasing vibrancy of the city – which somehow doesn’t make it harder to live in. I miss the oases of quiet and the energy of a new emerging city that is both a second Brooklyn and a global hub of media and politics.
Sullivan writes that he’ll commute to New York for two weeks a month, adding “I realize I’m married to Washington, and it’s best for me to think of New York as a mistress.”
Though he once called his current home New York Shitty, he writes today that he “loved New York City with a passion until I tried to live here.” Truth.
Welcome back, Andrew. We’re sure The Diner will be happy to have you back.
