I just traveled from my home in Brooklyn into Manhattan, and the whole spirit of the City is different - barely any traffic and lots of people walking and riding bikes - reminds me of when I visited Amsterdam. It's also really weird looking at the big gap in the skyline. I live about 7 miles from the explosion but at 6am the smoke blew into my neighborhood and I was awakened by the most horrible smell - between that and the sonic roar of fighter planes going over my house from nearby Fort Hamilton and the church bells ringing non-stop everything just seems very weird.
