Dear NY,
After 7 months and 10 days, I'm ready to officially say, "Hi". You have occupied so much of my time, spirit, effort and money I can not really explain. Just so much. You are so much of everything in my life and I like it that way. You are not quite overwhelming but just enough occupying.
Hi to you and your friends, if you will, and your famous foods that oh so tempt me in the late hours of the night. Hi to you and your distinct seasons and excuses for me to shop. Hello to the abnormally large yet functional sidewalks and hi to the super fashionable people that occupy you. I hope to create and long-lasting relationship with you and I hope you will treat me well...or as well as I treat you. It's nice to finally get to know you on a personal level, beyond that acquaintance bull shit. Let's hang out..have a drink or two. I like you and I think you will get to like me too if you give me the chance.
