The Big Apple. The capital of the world. The city that never sleeps. New York City has been called a lot of things in its time and it’s hard to argue with most of them. Parks, museums, street art, architecture, cuisine, nightlife… NYC has it all.
During three intense weeks there, I got to pay my respects at the 9/11 memorial, walk across Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge, go skimming through books at the New York Public Library and even experience the Halloween Parade at Greenwich Village.
More than that, I got to speak to a lot of people. The ones that make New York the city it is. Subway buskers, street artists, struggling Vietnams vets, pregnant homeless women, members of the African-American community of Harlem, anti-Trumpers outside the Trump Tower. The suits, the bohemians, the freaks and the downright crazy. New York has them all. And whether you love or hate life in a megacity like this, it’s difficult to not be kept intrigued and entertained in what many call “the greatest city in the world”.
