I admit it - this song gives me chills.
NYC is special - just ask anyone who lives there. (Even the transplants . . . especially the transplants!)
I do love it. I've never lived there, although I've wanted to. It's the home of the nation's first capital/ol, West Side Story, dinners with JT in the early 2000s, many fun nights and days, Tiffane from Queens and Paula from the Bronx at Dr. M's office, Studio 54, first trip to g with RR in 1997, DJ Daddy Bear at Posh, db bistro moderne, meeting V & J in 2000 (town period), MARKT, meeting Eric Leven at the Eagle, all Whit Stillman movies, my 40th birthday party (thank you friends!), DavidDust, Hannukah Hairy at Eastern Bloc, many more fun nights and days, SATC - and the list goes on and on and on.
Let's hear it for New York.

Are you here now???
And, yes, us transplants tend to idolize our adopted hometown a little more - because we remember the hellholes we actually came from!
XOXOXO
@DDust - No, sadly, not in NYC now.
Honey, you were not one of the transplants I had in mind when I wrote that. Not that my opinion matters, but . . . of all the non-native New Yorkers I know, I sense that you (more than anyone) have definitely earned your stripes.
