Embraced and Challenged

"Looking for an adventure? There is always one to be found. New York City has that rare ability to simultaneously make you feel embraced and challenged, all at once, every single day. As long as I live here, I will never be bored."
Will Guidara, quoted in The Points Guy

Sliding Texture

"New York has a sliding texture, like a toboggan. Everyone is in movement and everyone wants to succeed."
Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, Humanos y marcianos en Nueva York II

Individual New York

"The cosmopolis remains forever a mystery and a marvel, inspirational and infuriating, arousing both loathing and longing. Whether you're a resident, visitor, or commuter, your New York is different from everyone else's. "
Laura Pedersen, Life in New York
