Awful
Walking home in the West Village at 12 midnight and see a cluster of people in the street and a taxi cab stopped diagonally in the traffic. As our group approaches the static group we realize there is an ‘event’ in the street. Upon closer inspection it is a young woman, dressed in black leather …
