It's such a relieve that the power has been restored! I felt like living in a cave staying in my dark apartment two days straight! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
PS For some reason or another, I don't understand why Lower East Side is one the the last communities in the island of Manhattan to have the electricity back on? Do ConEd people do it in an order to first serve the rich neighborhood (eg: Upper East/Upper West) and last the low income people? Just a conjecture. 😉
