New York, nice; Covina, pffft

Adam White’s New York was not our New York [“Highly Overrated,” Letters, Dec. 14]. My husband and I had our first visit this past October. I tripped on a curb on 8th Avenue near Times Square and fell flat on the ground. A UPS driver stopped his van to ask if he could take me to a hospital. A nearby Italian restaurant offered me ice and a glass of Chianti.

Compassion in New York ran rampant for this senior couple.
