New York. Manhattan. New York City. NYC. New York, New York: so good they named it twice. Noise, energy, people. Heat, air-con, iced coffee. Grand Central: a marvel. Trains, oysters and rushing. Or hanging out. Iron buildings: inside out exo-skeletons. Cobbles of old getting worn in Soho and cobbles for the back drop for new films. Always a view: Chrysler, State, Central Park, Apple building, Ellis Island. Posters for classes: cross-fit, pilates, art, poetry. Early. Late, too: improv. Walking the spreadsheet: block by block, stop light by stop light. Know your chess moves and take the diagonal. Unique New York.
