New York is a beautiful city, filled with beautiful people. Coming from DC, which often feels so one-dimensional, it is an invigorating change to be surrounded by the creative, the fashion-savvy, the unique.
Everything seems more alive here. I feel more alive.
Especially in the summer, the streets of New York come to life, are filled with energy. People shop outside, eat outside, socialize outside. Merchants take their business outside, from the artist to the pretzel vendor.
The city is constantly in motion; it sweeps you up in its whirlwind of activity. The city has character. It exemplifies diversity in every sense of the word. I am not surrounded by suits-and-ties. It is so much more than that.
