NYC, a second time around

I haven't been to NYC since I was 21 years young. Did the city change or what? It's only been 9 years, but so many barrios have had a facelift and NYC is so much dirtier than I remembered. Granted, I have traveled to other cities, and now I can compare subway systems, parks, eateries and just street traffic and NYC is much dirtier. I still <3 NYC. It's still fun to ride on the metro underground and come up to the street level and be transported in a different barrio. It's also a treat to be out so late because the city never sleeps. I work nights and I still follow that crazy vampire schedule and even in L.A. the only places that are open are diners or taco trucks. The highlights were seeing the new MOMA, guggenheim, magnolia bakery, strawberry fields and just walking around taking it all in. I hope to revisit once again NYC!
