I think that the interesting thing about New York, other than everything and the fact that you can find something to do no matter how late it is at night or early in the morning, is the fact that whenever my husband and I travel, people ask us what borough we're from and they always say how much they love New York and how much of a dream it is for them to go there.
It is kind of a humbling reminder of how much NY'ers tend to take NYC for granted.
My brother who lives upstate with his girlfriend, usually gets the same treatment from people up there and whenever they travel his girlfriend has to say that she's from the other New York (State) because they can tell she's not she's not from NYC like we are and assume that she is from somewhere else..
