A few months ago, watching this would have made me cry. I missed New York terribly, everything I loved (still love) about it, all my friends, the local bloggers, the never-ending possibilities and things to do… Now it’s different. I still miss New York, but watching this makes me smile. It’s like when you lose someone, and after the grief you start feeling lucky you ever had that person in your life to start with. Because no matter how much you miss them and wish they were with you, you still have the memories, the fun, the special times when everything was just perfect.
And I know I will see New York again. I don’t know when, but I know it isn’t the last you’ve seen of me, NYC

Absolutely perfect. That shot of Lincoln Center did make me cry, but MAN did this make me proud to have been a New Yorker, even for just a while.

I’m a born and bred NYer, and this video still gave me chills – loved it! New York is definitely a city that is always amusing and amazing, whether you live here or you don’t.
Thanks for sharing this!

NYC misses you girl!
It just hit me, I’m going to be in NYC in March, for the first time since my move to Zürich. I have a list of my favorite restaurants I must go to: Sushi Nanase, Locanda Vini e Olii, The Good Fork (maybe), Sapporo East, Vinegar Hill House, as well as a growing number of new places to try. I’ll probably find a couple of web design events to attend, and there are SO many close friends I hope to see. I may take a couple of yoga classes with fantastic teachers I spent years searching for. The fact is, I am still living in a 180 degree world from my old home. It’s surreal but it truly helps to realize I’m not alone!
When I feel sad about choosing to leave, I remind myself of the rage I felt on an almost a daily basis at the MTA (the rudeness, the filthy tracks & trains/buses, the insane people, the delays and constant construction), I remember missing Nature and clean air/water. I missed Silence. I shudder to think of the HUGE roaches and rats. I remember feeling my job was meaningless and questioning the purpose of my life. I recall wishing soooo hard to meet a man to love who would love me back without playing games, without fear. And then my future Swiss husband came along and here I am!
I dedicate this song to our beloved NYC:

I haven’t been to New York in at least 10 years. I long to go back and share the experience with my children.

Hey! Grazie per la visita e per il good luck. In fondo, anche se facciamo tutti quei discorsi riguardo a livelli di sfiga e di dimensioni del lato B, continuiamo a sognare. Anche solo per un concorso, chiudiamo gli occhi e partiamo.
Buona fortuna anche a te
PS. Vedo che quei fantastici ankle boots stanno facendo girare la testa a parecchie di noi :p
As someone who live 40 min outside of Downtown Manhattan (in Conn.), hope to have you back in this part of the US soon!
ah, i love nyc too. did you have to leave?
