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.

  1. Ah; my old stomping grounds.

    Meeting 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.
