Could you possibly be more cryptic.

Nothing is the way it was ......

...that should tell you all you need to know...

If your talking about...

How slow it has been since after the holidays. This is normal and happens very yer some years not as bad as others but none the less normal.

You have to keep in mind it doesn't go back to normal till after Easter. It is season from after Christmas till after Easter. Many head South for Winter and you notice a drastic drop in business because they are the group that has more expendable income.  

Those left are hard working family men that have to prioritize their income coupled with after holidays and usually only can hobby once a month or every few months. Their contribution is still very important specially during season.

So it isn't New York it is every where, New York is one of the best cities and top markets for this hobby,
It will be back to business as normal soon. Hope that brightens your day and gives you better days to look forward to

It is hump day get humping!

Wishing everyone a very lovely day

do you remember how much fun washington square park used to be?
the people urinating in the street?

it is still there
its a dog park in the west 80s

our mayor has your sympathies
he wants the good old days to come back als

Ah, for the good old days! Green pastures, no automobile, bus and truck pollution, no skyscrapers blocking out the sky, ...  

But even J&R Music World is gone!  Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.
