The New York Times notes that for the last 25 years, David Bowie was a regular though ultrawealthy Manhattanite who managed to move through the masses almost invisibly.
[Bowie's wife] Iman once described Mr. Bowie as a “homebody”;The Onion imagined him as a “pansexual alien” staying in to “do lasagna for dinner.” He led a pretty normal-seeming life. He shopped for groceries once a week at Dean & DeLuca. He loved the chicken sandwich with watercress and tomatoes at Olive’s on Prince Street. He liked to rise at 6 a.m. and get his “buzz” by walking the still-empty streets of Chinatown.

Ah; my old stomping grounds.
ReplyDeleteMeeting at The Carlyle for coffee was a favorite, favorite treat...
This is near EAT, by the by.
I think he was pretty much a regular, in this neck of the woods.
Quite unassuming, though.
I never saw him with an entourage.
Just love this photograph. What an elegant creature he was!
