Empire State of Mind

We finally made it back to the city that never sleeps. Land of dirty water hotdogs, taxi cabs that don't stop, and subway trains that take you right to your destination. A place where there are playgrounds right next to wonderful cafes and more museums than you could physically see in a year. Yes, it is New York City--the best city in the world. What makes it so magical?? Maybe it is the fact that I don't have a yard to take care of so I am free to explore or maybe it is that my apt is so small it only takes me 30 minutes to clean it completely. Maybe it is Central Park or Prospect Park in Brooklyn or maybe it is all the bike paths or the tree lined neighborhoods with beautiful brownstones. It might be all the music festivals in the summer, free concerts in the park, or all the Broadway shows. Not sure if I can put my finger on exactly what makes NYC so magical but it is and we are definitely in an New York of Mind.
