We got power back at around 7:30pm, people cheered. Water pressure is coming back. The south side of East 14th Street still seem dark.

Update: The East Village and apparently the rest of New York City got power back shortly after 9pm. Walking around I couldn’t stop smiling, appreciating things like streetlights and neon signs and catching bits of stoopside conversations. The guy who runs the pizza place next door has been making pizzas as fast as his oven can handle, and people are lined up out into the street waiting for pies and slices.
