I loved growing up there! So many galleries, so many museums - not to mention the incredible ethnic groups, food, shopping, etc. Don't get me started on what it's like during the Christmas season - breath taking is the word that comes to mind. My Father took us all into the city every Sunday after church. The goal was to give my Mom the day off from the kids (she was a stay-at-home Mom). However, the consequence, for me, was a love of art, books, history and a curiousity about other cultures. While I would not like to live in the city again (I'm a southern girl at heart) I am deeply in love with the place, still. I am a native NYC girl! I loved growing up there!

My sister is always remarking on the unique opportunities of the 'city kids' that she nannies. I can certainly understand your love for it. What an exciting place to grow up!!
