"you'd love (insert name of a city here)... it's just like New York" ...
you have no idea how many times I have heard these words...
from the mouths of friends, family members, co-workers, even from a lady who was sitting next to my best friend and I in a cafe in Vancouver while I was rambling on about my beloved city.
When I am told this comment, I often wonder if the person saying it has actually been to nyc, or if they are basing it on what they know from t.v, movies, and hearsay.
I have been lucky in my life to have had the opportunity to travel to many, many cities and I can honestly say ( in my opinion, anyways) that none of those cities have been "just like New York"
they have all been beautiful, but
no other city has ever left me breathless for days on end...
