This footage is from August 2020. NYC feels completely empty right now. We show you some of the major New York City sights in this video and talk about the future of New York! Join me and Greg for this conversation in the car as we drive around New York. I love New York đź’– New Yorkers are tough! New York is Tough!

“London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.” (Dorothy Parker)

New York City is a tough city. The people are tough, the city is tough.

And that's a good thing.

Especially now. 

New York's been through a lot.

And New Yorkers really stepped up to the plate. As it always has in the past and will continue to do. 

As we drove around the City, we marveled at the glorious sights… but also how empty it was.

The emptiness is combo of summer vacation and what's been going on in the world… we don't have to rehash that, we're all up to speed I think.

New York exudes resilience.

When you come to New York you learn how to become resilient.

Because that's how you survive in this place. 

And when we look around, we draw strength from the historical buildings. The energy from the people surrounding you is incredible…even when empty you can still sense that surge, like an electric grid.

It's surreal being in Manhattan, a usually bustling place, that's now on the quieter side.

With Lady Liberty watching over the City, it will recover.

New Yorkers are tough. 

New York is tough.

I ❤ New York.

Thank you for reading!!
