The Big Apple


Your average New Yorker.
Never has a city been so full of it. I’m talking bright lights and personalities to match. The city of New York is all about the hustle, New Yorkers know nothing but how, come during the week but don’t make your mind up then, instead wait for the weekend and it’s a whole different story. Coming from the best city in the world is hard enough, but coming to New York is tough especially when the only pauses are for rain, then its back on. It’s the city that’s filled with the tourists we try not to be, nevertheless the big apple is the city that never sleeps.

NYC is split into its different parts and if you’re around long enough, it’s easy to figure out who’s from where- Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, BK or even New Jersey. Locals cross different trends when it comes to fashion, you can tell who’s who. As a city, this place can be anything you make of it and dreams line the blocks of streets. Harlem, the Bronx, and little Italy are just some cultural places full of some empowering history.

This city is living it up in a different way, its edgy, focused and open . It’s a city worth coming to and coming back to. If only for the singing folk on the subway who turn Monday blues into something to smile about (true story).  If only to cross the Brooklyn bridge just because, or ride across to Staten Island to see Lady Liberty, just because. Getting to New York is simple, just follow the bright lights.

p.s- Take my word when I say accidentally walking onto a movie set DOES happen!
Welcome to Manhattan
