My New York City ♡ June 2015 Lineup of Cool Events
On days like these — sunny & bright — I’m reminded of how much I love this city!
There’s something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.
— Amy Poehler
New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American. — Djuna Barnes
