New York City is everything I remembered it to be and much more. Last time I was in NYC as a tourist, it was 2001 just after 9/11 to visit a friend studying in Julliard, and it was a bit depressing, so this was my chance to relive NYC as a tourist and during the Christmas Newyears holiday season.
New York is intense… the energy, the diversity, the people, the food, the cultural offerings and the fact that people I adore and haven’t seen in years just happen to be with me here during the same time. It’s overwhelming and I absolutely love it.
Following is a quick preview to my NYC visit based on my mobile Instagram photos in the first few days…
