<p>So as soon as I was back in the states I went to downtown NYC. I bought a cupcake and since this town hates public seating I sat on the sidewalk. Nearly immediately a guard told me to get up. I could stand but sitting was loitering. I’m not in Europe anymore but back in the land of the free. #goodtobehome</p>
