This morning as soon as my eyes opened I immediately thought of 9/11. Then I started thinking of New York and all the great reasons why I love this wonderful city. There are lots of memories there for me. I have spent more time than I can calculate running the streets of this city.
It is where I deeply regret not moving when I had the opportunity nine years ago. It is where my husband proposed to me, largely because I wisely didn't move there nine years ago. We NEVER would have survived living together in his tiny apartment. It was the size of my current closet! I LOVE New York. JD was there just last week on business. He called to tell me he was trying to get on an earlier flight and my immediate response was, "WHY!?!". I told him that we loved and missed him dearly but if I were in his shoes I would soak up every second and catch the last flight I could.
My favorites involve lots of food, drinks, and shopping. That's what I like so that's what you get. I mean, we in North Carolina, don't realize the fabulosity of having beer, wine and spirits all in one location. Likewise, for McDonald's delivery. It really is such a fantastic city with fantastic people. The cultural climate is completely unique.
Here are a few more of my all time favorite things about New York:
Henri Bendel- Always FAB windows. Sheer merchandising and marketing genius
New York Fashion Week
The Met. I could live here.
Have a great day , New York! I love you.
Till Next Time
