Most cities are distinguished by their architecture.

You know when you're in New York because you're surrounded by people who look like New Yorkers.

New Yorkers fail to live up to their reputation.

Generally they seem very pleasant and friendly to me.

What would a travel essay be without an urban sculpture?

I felt like I looked as out of place as I did in Shanghai. At least nobody stared at me.

I like New Yorkers.

Lucky for me, because there sure are a lot of them.
