It's weird to think that 4 months ago, I was just arriving in this beautiful city that I now call home. "There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York, for the man or woman that was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulance as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter -- the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out at night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last -- the city of final destination, the city that is a goal."
-E.B. White from his essay Here Is New York
Couldn't have said it better myself...
