I walked quickly to work in New York City last summer. The day was July 5th, and I experienced something of a spatial anomaly. Before I knew it, I was suddenly transported in time back to 1979.
I knew the year was really 2022, but reality started to warp around me pretty quickly as I crossed through Rockefeller Center.

I Entered a Time Bubble To the right, I noticed a film crew and a group of actors hanging out between takes next to the famous ice-skating rink landmark. The extras were all dressed in hideous outfits from the 1970s. I didn’t immediately think much about it. (I grew up in New York.)
I turned my gaze forward and approached a woman in black wearing a headset and clutching a clipboard. She seemed very 2022.
As I passed her and took an immediate left to walk west on 50th street towards Radio City Music Hall, I sensed a small commotion behind me and vaguely heard something about the street now being closed to pedestrians. I kept walking.

I looked ahead and was stunned by what I saw. The entire street had been reversed four decades. It was as if I had walked through a time bubble and popped out in the 1970s.
The cars…the signs…the people. All transformed. Even Radio City Music Hall had signage promoting an upcoming Frank Sinatra performance.
Had my mind been somehow captured, and I was relocated into another season of “WandaVision?”
I Crashed a Scene from “The Crowded Room” Not exactly. In fact, I was walking through a scene of “The Crowded Room,” starring Tom Holland on Apple TV+. I had inadvertently slipped through right before a street scene was to be filmed. All of the extras were in place, and it was as if I were an extra too.
For the next two minutes, I walked through 1979, appreciating all of the design work that had been done to bring this famous street back to another era. And then there were the dozens of extras, all seemingly transported here from the ‘70s. That actually felt really weird and slightly destabilizing.
It’s interesting how easily it is to disrupt your sense of normal, even if you know what’s going on.

Return to Reality As I approached Sixth Avenue, I saw another crew person in black holding back other versions of me wanting to take the same trip back in time. They were too late.
I popped out of the time bubble and reentered 2022. I heard people yelling behind me to ‘stand by’ and ‘take your places.’
I didn’t look back. I had my moment back in 1979, and I was satisfied.
And no, I didn’t brush past Tom Holland or any other movie stars. (That might have actually ruined my immersion into the past.)
It was just another New York moment: July 5, 2022 at 8:40am.
You never know what you’ll see on the streets of New York City.
