The City So Nice They Named It Twice

photos by charls

i have a mile-long wishlist of places i want to visit in this lifetime, spanning the majestic deserts of egypt and the cobblestone streets of prague. and yet with all the daydreams of faraway lands and magical adventures i have yet to embark on, there is one place in the world i would still most like to visit than anywhere else: the city of new york. i want to walk the streets of manhattan. take ridiculous tourist photos at times square. go up the empire state building, the statue of liberty, rockefeller center. sit prettily on the steps of the MET. stuff my face with hotdogs, pizza, and the sumptuous cupcakes of magnolia bakery. and maybe somewhere in that chaos i will run into dear old scott and cordially grant him a photo.

i do love my imagination.
