@[JudeJaded:30931] Gramercy Park is a private park in lower Manhattan; to get in, you need to live in the Gramercy neighborhood and pay an annual fee. One of those only-in-New-York things. It makes sense that the wealthy narrator would hang out there, but it's not a likely spot for a drug deal! (Washington Square Park or, as you say, Central Park would be more plausible. Although, in truth, they probably haven't been major drug marketplaces since the 1980s). Not sure if you're serious with the "take-out" comment, but... Dean & Deluca's is an ultra-high-end grocery store that also sells takeout. Food, not clothes. I enjoy reading the various theories about how the song is really about drugs, but really, dude, it's a stretch. |
