Nic of Time

Austin popping up in the wee hours of morning at the Beatrice Inn, and Butter showed him enjoying the New York City nightlife. But his days in the city? What do you think he did in New York, while Jake was finishing up filming Brothers? Plenty.

While Sophia and company seemed to be sitting front and center at every show at Bryant Park, the bet is that Austin was enjoying his time in town in his own way. Pouring over the Times with coffee, with maybe a sneak peek at the Post's Page Six. Time. Grabbing good food, not always at all the expected spots, you imagined him standing in line with everyone else in Washington Square Park at the Dosa Man cart. Blending into the city. All the while being the quiet observer of the people around him, soaking in the atomosphere, storing it up for future reference.

Austin being alone in the city he can move in anonymity, and when recognized, most New Yorkers just keep going. He can come and go with no worries. Afternoons of ducking in and out of little shops, stopping off for books, wanders in galleries, slipping in for an afternoon matinée, meeting up with friends. Time in his city.
