Meant to Be

Central Park (Pixabay)

"I have never been in love with a person, but when I am asked to explain my relationship with New York City, I often find myself relying on the language of romance. 'It just feels like it’s meant to be,'  I’ll say, starry-eyed."
Marshall Bright, Refinery29

A Different World

"New York is the kind of place where it's so small but it's like every block is a different neighborhood. Waking up in a different one is like a different world."
Awkwafina, Refinery 29

Vanishing Breed

"Walking around the East Village, I just want to cry at the state of it. There are so many fuckin' jocks everywhere! It's like a frat house everywhere. I don’t know if it's a sign of the times, but where are the real weirdos? The real outcasts? They're a vanishing breed here."
Chloe Sevigny, Refinery 29

In a Rush

"I'm a real, born-and-bred New Yorker, so I'm always in a rush and always over-scheduled."
Claire Distenfeld, Refinery 29
