Thanks for ...Been diggin' on your blog for a while. Thanks for the beauty in the everyday. <BR/>I think we are all planning your next trip... not just you. For me, I have been gone from the City for too long to realize that the Cupcake has a spot on 18th in Chelsea! Next time, maybe go to the [next-door-to-the-original] one on 9th Ave; check out Hell's Kitchen and the markets over there. In the meantime, check Rion [below] out for photo inspiration and a loving 5-year tribute to the city. Some southerners don't like the City; I am really pleased that you seem to embrace it in the same way you embrace everything else: with love and joy. Peace, Andrea.<BR/>http://www.rion.nu/v5/archive/000466.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-1164251854686287792006-11-22T22:17:00.000-05:002006-11-22T22:17:00.000-05:00Now that was a great blog!

I've never been to the City (and I've been going to college in Upstate NY for 3 years) and the way you write about it is just like I imagine it.

The one time I went to NYC I looked out the window at take off. It was nighttime and the skyline looked like you described except I saw it through tears as I simply allowed the emotion to some out as I left that city.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266495150913013825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-1164149313344172372006-11-21T17:48:00.000-05:002006-11-21T17:48:00.000-05:00ah...
