What I Miss About New York City
Every single day here in Oxford, something reminds me of New York.
There are so many incredible things about the city. Always something to do, something to see. The fast-paced lifestyle made me want to scream at every moment, "I love you, New York!"
I miss brunch every Saturday and Sunday morning. I miss the "New York City Summer Bucket List" and checking off events/museums/restaurants. I miss walking down W 14th St. every morning and buzzing up to the Dannijo office. I miss those people. I miss watching the sunset from the rooftop bars. I miss the heat and smell of the subway, in the weirdest way. I miss being able to walk anywhere I want. I miss hailing a cab, too.
I miss getting macarons and Georgetown cupcakes on a whim. I miss walking through Central Park and then stopping at the Plaza for sushi with Fran and Sassy, or a crepe and coffee. I miss the streets of SoHo. I miss the rush and vibrancy of the city at night. I miss walking the streets and not looking at my phone, for the fear I would miss something beautiful, interesting, weird, or mind-blowing.
I miss that you can eat breakfast, lunch or dinner by yourself. I miss the postcards you get at every restaurant. I miss swiping my MetroCard.
To you New York, you have won my heart. I miss your pizza, your people, your sunsets and your skies. New York, I'll recommend you to anyone. A summer with you changed me forever, and I count down the days until we can reunite again.
