There was time to kill
since the next train
was at 5:38AM.
Fortunately, Manhattan
always offered options.
An all night diner
or a 4:00AM bar; 24 hour deli.
A favorite haunt back in the day
was the Jazz Cultural Theatre
on 8th Ave between 28th and 29th ST
They had a residency
with legendary drummer Art Blakey
on Saturday night (Sunday morning:
from 3:00AM to 7:00AM
A legend for 15 bucks
and you could get drinks or breakfast
and pair it with jazz.
Eggs, Bloody Marys and Jazz
It was a blast.
A couple times
I even missed the 5:38
and had to catch the 6:38
I was young & insane
so it never phased me.
I was living on the edge
but it always seemed
to provide its own rewards.
