Village Voice chronicles a list of 50 reasons why it's good to live in New Yohk City! Some of my favorites:
44. The epic feeling you get running to catch a train and succeeding...just before the doors close.
43. Bored to Death. 30 Rock. SNL. And a million other things that film here and we love. RIP Law and Order.
34. There are almost 200 bars in the East Village alone.
26. Smart people are the norm, not the exception. (Which doesn't mean they're sane, but at least no one's boring.)
22. How easy it is to find doughnuts, pizza, Chinese food, or any other snack your drunken self desires at 4 a.m. Or to continue to drink. Responsibly!
5. We are, as a group, anti-fanny-pack as much as we are pro-gay-marriage. Hetero marriage, on the other hand, we can pretty much take or leave.
2. There is absolutely no reason to ever drink and drive.
Not on the list, but should be:
We have a solid K-Town and three Chinatowns. Our art museums and galleries. Botanica. Central Park and Union Square on the first hot day of the year. Three major airport hubs. I get older, the girls stay the same age.
