Despite a resident in a ‘big city’ in and of itself, I really want to leave Atlanta and move to New York City, New York. Yes, it’s massively expensive but I really enjoyed the energy I felt the last time I was in the city and want to live in it again. New York City is a teeming mass of art, technology and anonymity that just draws me in and wish to be a part of it as much as I can. It is quite odd to associate being anonymous with a city with more people per square inch than most cities in the US can handle on a good day but with the mass comes this ability to blend in with a crowd. Even if you stood out, there are others there standing out in exactly the same way. Plus the city-wide free wifi is nothing to sneeze at.
I won’t bore you with the history of New York but here is a bit of my history with it. In middle school, 7th grade, we went on a class trip. 4 days and 3 nights in New York City. I didn’t like going with my classmates, for various reasons, but I really enjoyed my time in New York. We certainly played the tourist game, going to various attractions and seeing plays and shows [Beauty and the Beast on Broadway was completely and utterly worth it], but what drew me was the city itself. Even as we went to sleep for the night, the city was still awake and moving and just making me want to go outside and blend in with the crowd and their energy. New York is host to more than a few of my favorite tech websites like Lifehacker and How-To-Geek along with some other
Growing up in Manhattan was an epitome of excitement. Back in the day, and also to its founding, New York has always been a beehive of activities. Going down memory lane, I reminisce on trips that we’d take to loads of places around the city for entertainment during weekends and on holidays. Raised by Spanish immigrants, my father was a chef in a small but busy restaurant along Fifth Avenue. Since I can recall, fifth avenue has always had some of the major and well known fashion stores and hotels in the city. This would have

New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4).

With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to

Traveling between the Bronx and Manhattan has allowed me to see that even though they are so close in distance, everyone is yet so far. Being raised in the Bronx has allowed me to gain a sense of home and recognition, but also how stereotypes are meant to deceive us. The Bronx is labeled as a dangerous place, where violence occurs, but people neglect the beauty and happiness that surrounds it too. Meanwhile, when people think of Manhattan, they see it as the heart of New York where everyone is living their dreams. When in reality, the “heart” of New York is much more distant from itself, and that is not just because it is on an island.

According to music icon, John Lennon, “America is where it’s at. I should have been born in New York.

The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of

Ever since I can remember I have had a fascination with New York City, partly because the way that the movies have portrayed it as being almost magical and full of endless possibilities way but mostly because I love large cities. Although I live near Glasgow which could be considered to be a large city I don’t think it has the same allure as NYC. The architecture is so different and I think that what makes New York so special. Endless rows of skyscrapers that send shadows flowing
