Union Square
Word from: Lilit Marcus

Today I was again reminded of the diversity that is New York City.

In Union Square, my friend and I pass a huge pro-Palestinian "Zionism is racism" group holding up signs and passing out flyers. One of the protesters is talking to a cop about how they are not in violation of any city ordinances. Further into the grass, a very tall young blond man is holding up a sign that reads "six foot seven jewish rapper will freestyle for you: $3." My friend and I scrounged up some change and he did a riff for us about how fucking hot it was.

I got his card. Next mima'amakim performer?

    Personally, I'd have asked the protesting group to rap. But the other guy sounds good. (Menachem sits starry-eyed thinking of tall, young blond men...)
