Only here

Reason No. 47 That I Live in N.Y. City:

On a random Monday afternoon, a friend might give you a free ticket to a second-row seat at Carnegie Hall to hear James Levine conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a concert of Mozart and Brahms that night.

Reason No. 59:

For the first time in months I took the D train to work this morning, and was ecstatic to hear the jovial, soothing voice of the conductor I used to listen to every day when I took that train to my old job. “Good morning! West 4th St. Have a pleasant day…”

Reason No. 63:

The AMNY guy who stands at the southwest corner of 34th and Park in the morning. “Read and ride! Ride and read! Have a great day! Have a safe day! … Read and ride!”
