New York has been taking out large and jumbo soda from New York City restaurant, stadiums and Movie Theater, because of health board. Why take out the big soda if people don't want to go back and buy another one. So the government has been deciding to make them smaller and Barclays Center has been selling small soda drinks.

During one of my trips, I stood on the edge of a New York City sidewalk, waiting to cross the street to get to a theater. People surrounded me on every side except directly in front of me, where cars moved past me. Somehow, a miracle happened - for a moment, surrounded by people and cars and noise, I felt completely alone.
