Being a native New Yorker (and Brooklynite - which is a distinction all it's own) I truly appreciate it when a non-native acknowledges the inhabitants of this extraordinary city. Like you David I travel quite a bit - London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, etc. All excellent cities, and in many ways superior to my own. But every time I'm abroad it has me appreciate more and more having been born and raised in NYC. And it's that familiarity that you touched upon that makes all the difference. No matter where I travel I always manage to find someone or something that looks or feels familiar. And though I'll be in a strange city in another part of the world, eventually I'll come to feel as if I'm home. Thank you David.
