Bright Lights, Big New York City

What I remember most about the city - the hustle & bustle you can never escape (the rumbling of the subway under your feet, the wailing sirens, crazies on the streets..), stumbling into Chelsea Market, shopping in SoHo, getting a hangover cured at Smorgasburg (a weekend food fair in Brooklyn), and bidding the city goodbye with a night stroll along the Brooklyn Bridge.
