"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address."
Why that line put a dream in me to visit New York in the fall? I don't know. It's probably a combination of that line, the beautiful shots of the city, and the Cranberries background music that really stole my heart. So when I had a chance to visit New York... in the fall... I was ecstatic. My parents asked me what I wanted to do and I gave them two things, 1. See a Broadway show, 2. Walk around Central Park - because in my head I envisioned this perfect outing consisting of beautiful changing trees, crunchy leaves on the ground, the sun shining, a cool breeze... I'd hyped it up in my mind and knew there was no way it could actually live up to my dreams. But today... it did. We took an afternoon stroll through Central Park and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. The words, "This is perfect." escaped my mouth a time or two. What a day...
(Me, and how giddy I was to be in New York, in Central Park, in the fall.)
(This seemed classic New York to me: Starbucks, hot dog vender, cabs, fire escapes...)
