Familiar Faces

By: Gabriela Yareliz

There are days when I think I see Anthony Bourdain in NYC. There are a lot of men who look like him. Today, I felt like I saw him on 7th while some other man explained to a World Cup tourist that such and such building is the “tallest skyscraper.” It’s not, and I don’t know what kind of bootleg tour they were taking people on. Scams abound in high tourist seasons.

One day, I saw a man who looked like Jeffrey Epstein if he joined witness protection. There are people with “familiar faces”. Is it a blessing or a curse? I guess it depends on who you look like.
