In just one day of living in NYC you may see:
A mass of people swaying awkwardly around a drum corps
A dealer not so subtly offer you drugs
A piano in the middle of the park
A homeless man curled up on a bench for an afternoon nap
A 99¢ pizza place
A ghetto bootie that does not belong to a female
A strap-on on and fake boobs on a manequin
A pigeon flitting fearlessly a foot away from your face
A jazz combo playing Afro Blue on the walkway
A huddle of theater kids dancing inappropriately to the music in the air
A few same-sex couples walking happily together unimpeded
A pair of kids practicing Capoeira on a raised platform
A line at Starbucks wrapping three times around the interior of the store
A little person not sanctioned by the university shouting at passersby as if he were traffic control
A quartet of semi-intoxicated friends (two guys, two girls) converge on a single point in the air to make out. All at once. Like literally four set of lips interacting inclusively.
A Broadway star buying a meal at the same chicken joint as you
A beautiful purple sky created by smog and light pollution
A high skyline blinking with bright lights, the biggest reminder that you're in one of the greatest cities on Earth- a city so steeped in history, so full of energy, so industrial and yet so beautiful.
Enjoying his bite of the Big Apple,
Jamin
Love!
