NEW YORK

It was always music and art that made me love growing up in New York. It amazed me how one place could inspire so much passion. We see it and hear it from filmmakers, artists, musicians, writers... but it also lives in the faces of every New Yorker...from the smallest child looking up at the big buildings in awe, to the oldest man, inhaling the city from a bench in Washington Square Park. Even though I was fortunate to live close enough to Manhattan to be able to explore it often as a kid, the fact that one can never really know New York was apparent to me even then...perhaps it was that knowledge that lured this constant wanderer back home. I am not attempting to define New York here...an impossible task and a waste of time. New York is something completely different for everyone, and that's what makes it great. Here I'll just be sharing my observations of daily life in New York with you, and I look forward to hearing your comments and experiences as well.
