nyc- love it or hate it, it's still on your mind

the first snowfall here in manhattan got me feeling nostalgic about leaving.  sure the streets are dirty, it's a rat race, and every line (even for a single paper towel roll) is like trying to get into the hottest new bunker in town.  but isn't that part of the charm? 

the energy of people clad in black, all with somewhere to go, someone to meet, something to become is contagious.  right now is too late, and today is so yesterday.  no one moves to manhattan without a dream and you can't truly find yourself here without getting lost in the grid first.

if you are lucky enough to make it to the other side of the rainbow- broadway, history, architecture, food, fashion, culture and every sub-culture is right at your fingertips.  one needn't look any further for inspiration when shacked up on this island.  it really is bittersweet to pack up my gold and  take a break.
