In an incredible defense of his beloved and beloved New York City, cabaret artist Jerry Seinfeld has become somewhat difficult for an owner of the Manhattan comedy who builds for Florida and recently claimed that the Big Apple is “completely dead” with no hope for a handball.
“You say New York will not return this time,” Seinfeld wrote in a New York Times opinion column posted today, not mentioning his purpose but referring to a LinkedIn post written earlier this month by co-owner of Stand Up NY Comedy Association James Altucher. ‘You will not return. In your energetic, pastel-filled new life in Florida. I hope you have a long, healthy run there. I can not think of a more appropriate fee for your fine article.
“This dumb virus will eventually give up. In the same way as you have. ‘
Altucher, who calls Seinfeld a ‘putz’, wrote in his August 13 post that COVID-19 has led to, among other things, the economic destruction of the city, increased crime, and the loss of restaurants and cultural institutions.
“I have a comedy club together, Standup NY, on 78th and Broadway,” Altucher wrote. “It’s a great club. It’s been around since 1986 and before that it was a theater … Over the past year, Jim Gaffigan, Jerry Seinfeld, Tracy Morgan, and many others have been on stage. “
“I love the club,” he continued, noting that Standup NY recently staged outdoor shows. “That said, we have no idea when we will open. No one has any idea. And the longer we close, the less chance we will ever profitably reopen. ”
“Broadway is closed until at least spring. Lincoln Center is closed. All museums are closed. Forget the tens of thousands of jobs lost in these cultural centers. Forget even the millions of dollars in tourists and tourist generated revenue lost by the closure of these centers. ”
Altucher’s critics were not a laughing stock for Seinfeld. ‘The last thing we need in the thick of so many challenges is what putz is shouting and shouting on LinkedIn:’ Everyone is gone! I want 2019 back! ‘”The Seinfeld star writes. ‘Oh, shut up. Imagine you are in a real war with this man by your side. ”
Seinfeld continues: “He says he knows people who have left New York for Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Indiana. I have been to all these places for many decades. And with all due respect and attention, Are you … You .. Please .. Me ?!
‘He says everyone’s gone forever. How the hell do you know that? You’re moved to Miami. Yes, I also have a place on Long Island. But I will never leave New York City. Ea. “
Seinfeld adds, ‘You found a place in Florida? Nice. We know the sharp focus and calm, resilient creative mind that Florida is all about. You think Rome is leaving too? London? Tokyo? The East Village? They are not. They change. They mutate. They reshape. Because greatness is rare. And the true greatness that is New York City is beyond rare. ”
Oh, and about that place in Manhattan? “I’ve been on stage a few times at your Stand Up NY comedy club,” Seinfeld writes. ‘It can use a little spruce, if you don’t mind my spell. I would not worry about it. You can do it from Miami. ”
