flying into or out of nyc is such a special experience. i’m lucky enough to have experienced it multiple times. and hopefully many more times before i’m through.

This is New York
i bought “this is london” for my niece, as a gift from when i lived in london. i remember thinking that i hoped she liked it enough to keep it, so that one day i can look back at the book and reminisce about my time there
but this? the nyc title is what i would like as a gift, from someone, someday.
let me add that sometimes, it’s hard to distinguish between want and need.
New York 06 (by Rémi Co)
i always get a little jealous of those with concrete plans to visit nyc soon. i can’t help myself. i miss a lot of people there, and i miss doing a lot of the things you can only do in new york. i mean, it’s not so much what you do there, but the fact that you can do anything. and that “anything” happens on a daily basis.
barring a bequest of massive wealth, i won’t be back to the city for another couple of years at least. it makes me sad to think about it that way.

Old-Timey Subway Train Campaign of the Day: To promote the upcoming second season of its critically acclaimed period series Boardwalk Empire, HBO, with a little help from NYC’s MTA, will install a throwback subway train that will run through September 25th — the show’s premiere date.
Starting on Saturday, September 3rd an authentic vintage 1920’s train will run on the express 2/3 track in Manhattan throughout September (specifically, from 12 to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays). Originally operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) system, the train began service back in 1917 and will once again be operational. Customers who have the opportunity to ride the vintage train will be transported back in time to the Prohibition era with authentic details such as rattan seats, ceiling fans and drop sash windows, as well as a custom branded interior featuring Boardwalk Empire-inspired period artwork.
NB: During the final weekend of the promo, HBO-branded people will be handing out complimentary MetroCards near the Times Square-42nd and 72nd street stations.
