A Day in the Big Apple

PUBLISHED ON

April 23, 2010

This past weekend, I made my first-ever visit to New York City. Margaret and her trusty iPhone (complete with the indispensable NY Subway App) shepherded me safely through the most bewildering urban landscape I have ever experienced (as well as the most bewildering one I will ever experience, I suspect). My reactions mostly alternated between “I’m really confused by the fact that there’s no horizon here,” and “I think there may be more people in this elevator than there are in the state of Wyoming.” It was fantastic (and fantastical.)

In memory of the weekend’s adventures, today’s YouTube clip features New York in all its peculiar glory. (YouTube Embed FAIL! You’ll have to click on through.)
