New York: the city that became part of me
New York was a dream long before I arrived. I had been reading a book about John F. Kennedy, and something about his story made the city feel iconic in my imagination.
So when I landed at JFK in 2006, stepped into a yellow cab and said, "Waldorf Astoria, Manhattan," it felt like a movie moment.
I jogged in Central Park every morning and soaked up the neon buzz of Times Square every night. I visited the Statue of Liberty and shopped at Macy's and Bloomingdale's like a true New Yorker. And the warm New York bagels became a love story of their own.
What stayed with me most was the people: warm, welcoming and full of energy.
I spent a week in New York that first time, and I've been back several times since. The city never leaves me.
