People refer to New York City as many things, probably the most common is the city that never sleeps, but I like to call it the island of dreams. Manhattan is filled to the brim with people that have dreams; dreams of being an actor, a writer, a dancer, a lawyer, a stockbroker, and dreams of just being fabulous but all of them have the same goal in mind: being successful. It is like a modern day fairy tale, the city where dreams can come true.
Last week I took a 3 day excursion to Manhattan and had the time of my life doing the things I love to do: shopping at all my favorite stores, seeing fabulous theater, indulging myself with some delicious food! It seriously was a fabulous week spent in a city that I have fallen in love with over the last 5 years. This morning I woke up and looked out my bed room window and wished I was looking at 8th Avenue instead of the houses across the street in my suburban neighborhood. I love everything about the city, the smell and the sounds, the abundance of peoples and cultures, the welcoming mystery that it has, and the peace that falls upon it when it snows. I always yearn for all Manhattan has to offer, love it when I am there, and then return home with an even greater lust for the city!
"New York. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do! Now you're in New York! These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you! Let's here it for New York!" Empire State of Mind, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys
