but, why?

there is too much negativity in this world. (this may itself seem like a negative statement; so be it.)

i feel that i notice this particularly in blogs about city living, especially new york city. no, city living ain't easy, but it sure is fun. and i think people tend to forget the wonderful, lovely, magical parts of living in one of the greatest cities in the world, overwhelmed by stuffed subway cars and the scent of urban streets. but i have had many wonderful, lovely, magical moments here, and i want to chronicle them. and with that in mind, i christen this blog magical new york.

i will try to record whatever strikes my fancy; a funny encounter, a great restaurant or venue, a beautiful day. this city makes me happy, and i want to make you happy.
