I love ALL of those cities too, Mary. I love them, they are different from NYC, but I love them too.

Wait! Hold it~ you had 8 sibs? Wow! Must have been fun. You have to write about that sometime!

What a wonderful playground you have in your backyard! I've only been to New York twice. The first time, I was a little girl. My parents were taking all 9 of their kids to Europe and we stopped over in N.Y.C. on our way so they could meet with their agent and editor at Doubleday. Though our time was brief, I remember thinking it was so bright, so vibrant, so alive. Fast forward almost 20 years and I would return. I had a business meeting in Connecticut so a few of the gals I worked with and I flew in to N.Y.C a few days early and we did the city big! There are few cities like New York, but I don't know that it ranks in my top 5. My top 5 would include: San Francisco, Florence, Venice, London, and probably, San Diego.

Your post, however, reminded me I'm well past due for another visit to New York. 🙂

I agree with you, Cathy. New York is the most wonderful city on the world. I feel lucky that I am close enough to visit once on a while. Speaking of which, when is our next rendez-vous?

my children are nuts for New York. My youngest daughter had an internship at O magazine last summer, so my oldest daughter stayed with her for awhile. They went back and forth to Lawrenceville where my husband's family lives. Then we all met up at Yankee Stadium to say goodbye to Derek Jeter. We love it there, and you are so right about the pulse of the city.

I love California too, Linda, so maybe we can swap for awhile? 🙂

I love SF too, Angela. Not a bad place to leave your heart! Get ready for the CROWDS of NYC at Xmas time. Ah. But those store windows and the tree? Priceless. Reminds me of little Natalie Wood in "Miracle on 34th Street" cause it's so New York City.

We're taking our boys to NY for the first time over Christmas. I can't wait to see their reactions. And to get back there. I haven't been since 2001. It is such a magical place. When I was fresh out of college, I picked up and moved from rural GA to San Francisco. It was crazy and gutsy and completely unlike me. I guess I left my heart there...as the song goes.

I love NYC. I love how I feel there. Always wished I had lived there at some point in my life.

It was funny, wasn't it Wendy? I love a lot of US cities too, and my heart holds a special place for New England, but I've never felt such a pulse as NYC.
