One man's never ending search for beauty and adventure, be it the Great Wall of China, a Broadway musical or fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Why New York City is Great
What's so special about New York City? Sure it's big, really big. The biggest city in America. But there's a uniqueness about the city that has nothing to do with its scale. New York City isn't just a typical city done bigger and taller. Unlike other mega-cities like Tokyo, Mumbai, or Mexico City, New York City is incredibly diverse.New York City is a city of extremely successful diversity on a scale not seen anywhere else in the world. For this reason, it really is the heart of America. It proves to the world that diversity and freedom can exist on a grand scale. And isn't that what this country is really all about??New York City is giant, successful, and full of people from incredibly diverse cultures who speak dozens of different languages, hold many different beliefs, and live peacefully together. It's one of the greatest experiments in the history of mankind. I love New York City.
