New York, New York
Who wouldn’t want to visit New York? They say its beautiful there; even after the 9/11 tragedy. So here’s an ice breaker for everyone: What makes New York, New York?
A lot of people would say it’s the cultural mix, it’s the Italian, Irish, Mexican mix, and many other cultural origin. Others would say it’s the pizza, the hotdog or the yellow cabs. A lot would say it’s the mafia. Also, a lot of people say that in New York, NY plastic surgery is very popular. Some would say that it is notorious. It’s the lime light, it’s Broadway. Even if I haven’t been there, I have this New York feeling in me, it’s like a happy dream for me. It’s a longing to be there; a desire to someday set foot on its ground.
What makes New York, New York for you?
I think New York is a good place to enjoy being yourself. Its a place that is open to all cultures and that success there can be for anyone. With that, I did not feel any social pattern there that I had to keep up with nor have i ever felt judged. I think its because to begin with, people there are so different from each other there. I can’t express this strange feeling of freedom somehow that nobody knows me. Its a sweet experience of being in a place where you are so yourself and being in a place of people who are used to not being judged as well. Its contagious and I love it. Candid Interactions with these people who are less uptight and just so real is an amazing experience. That makes New York New York for me.
hi gia, wow, that’s an amazing feeling! a feeling of freedom just because you know no one knows you, they cannot judge you, and other people feel that same way too and everyone is okay with it. I am glad that New York is a reality for you. I hope someday my dreamy feeling of New York comes true din.
