It took me a day or two to feel safe in the city, which I found ridiculous in my own head. I’m not a county bumpkin come to the big city. I live in a suburb of LA and am in the city quite often and am quite comfortable there.
But, once my heart started beating at a regular pace, I LOVED NYC! I loved everything about it. I walked, took the subways, took a few cabs and I explored most of downtown, chelsea, soho, the park, uptown…all the places in Manhattan that you want to see. And I LOVED it! It was the first time I actually went on vacation somewhere I thought I could actually live in that place.
