New York, New York





I don't care what anyone says, New York is the center of the universe! Whatever Paris or London have, they've got nothing on New York. Yes, people are not as laid back by California standards, they're in a hurry, places to go, but on more than one occasion a kind stranger helped me out in what can only be described as a friendly way. The streets are teeming with hustle and bustle and the bite in the fall air can sting, but it makes the pleasure of finding an open seat in the jam-packed Starbucks even more intense. And let's talk about the food... there is food everywhere, a bagle shop on every block, chopped salads, delis, gourmet shops, little Italian, Indian, Chinese, German, Spanish, name your country restaurants. New Yorkers live life with gusto and breathlessness in a city that never rests, symbolized by Lady Liberty with a freedom of expression that translates in all forms of art which is the stuff of life. The city is a huge tableau, a work of living art and everyone there adds a splash of color from the most neutral to the most vibrant.
