Once again, New York Magazine came out with their Reasons to Love New York issue. We enjoyed coming up with our own reasons so much last year, that we thought we would try to come up with some new ones.
From Abby:
Being able to enjoy wine at dinner in a restaurant and not having to worry about driving home.
Purchasing coffee at a cart from a total stranger, yet mysteriously pining for him when he is not there.
The Brooklyn Bridge – utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing.
From Keika:
Even the average New Yorker knows some Yiddish.
From Lisa:
Mom and Pop stores can still survive and even thrive here despite the big chain stores.

Being able to order Uzbekistani food on the Upper West Side
And here are my thoughts:
NY 1, especially Pat Kiernan.
There is so much to do on any given day, even on December 25 if you are Jewish. Yes, you can go to the movies or out for Chinese food, or you could go to a Museum, to a concert, or both.
The gas lights and brownstones on my street remind me of Henry James, Edith Wharton, and all the other great literary works that are set here.
Tell us your reasons for putting up with the high rents, the small spaces, and the cold weather.

When I look over the East River and see Manhattan at night, I am overcome with the warmth and luster of the city. Manhattan sparkles for me in a way that no suburban star can. Those stars are forgotten just as Manhattan herself wipes them from the sky, and I am bathed in the contentment of her light.
