Brian's NYC

The hustle and bustle of the city usually causes me to keep my head either straight ahead, or down at the ground to make sure I don’t run into anything or get lost, which I am notoriously known to do. I walked from my office on Third Avenue to Hell’s Kitchen yesterday, a beautiful autumn evening, and it was one of the first times I actually noticed what I was walking by. It caused me to consider why people in this city don’t look up more often and see the amazing sites of the city that we live in. On my walk I passed by St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the NY Public Library, Rockefeller Center, The Rainbow Room, Radio City Music Hall, and had spectacular views of the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings and the wonders of Times Square.
Why don’t I notice these things more often? I walk by some incredible attractions every day, and I hardly ever notice them. Is it just a perk of living in one of the biggest and busiest cities in the world, or am I experiencing something very special by living here? I think it’s the latter, and from now on, I plan on looking up a lot more often (let’s just hope I don’t slip!).
