I've only lived in New York 9 months, but had already fallen into complacency. While I was first here and looking for a job, I went out every day to explore some new part of the city, but now that I'm working I tend to go directly home and crash. Maybe go out and about on Sunday.
But now that my sister is here visiting, I've been going out after work every day, and all day when I'm not working. And I remember again why I love it here! There's no place more exciting to be in the world (right now, for me). All the different people to watch, the architecture, the food, the neighborhoods, the parks! Don't get me started about the parks.
And on Friday I got to go out to dinner and to a Broadway show (Curtains) with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ladyraand her sister and brother, and it was so wonderful! Not just seeing Rari, but being on a street with 10 Broadway theaters in a 2 block stretch, with the streets filled with theater-going people. All those talented human performances going on behind each building facade. Then afterward, walking back to the subway at 42nd Street, through Times Square.... I've got it bad.
(I didn't take this picture, found it on the internet, but this is just what it's like) The lights, the motion, the milling throngs of awed or bored people. You wouldn't want to live there, but it's a hell of a place to visit!
I feel so lucky to live in NYC! I'm back in love again. Will try not to take it for granted when I'm on my own again.
