New York, New York

The Big Apple glistens with a shine of its own.
What makes it tick?
Here's a list of "Why I ♥ NY":

1. The taxis. The brilliant eye-catching yellow with black checks taxi with the illuminated glowing sign, complete with an advertisement plastered on its side.
2. The Bling-bling baby. Fashionistas catwalk the pavements.
3. Starbucks. The good ol' cuppa that winds up New York every morning.
4. Bikes out and about.
5. Central Park
6. The green that dots the sidewalks and freshens the lanes. Foliage! Trees, trees and look, another tree!
7. The "I ♥ NY" T-Shirts. Classic. You've gotta love 'em.
8. Times Square and the countless luminous neon lights and billboards!
9. Broadway!!!
10. The view of the New York skyline from Liberty Island
11. The block appartments and condos and the brownstone and bricks they're made of, giving them a distinguished antique, classic look.
12. Fire Escapes!
13. The Skyline of Skyscrapers against the sunset and just after the sun has set, when the sky is painted a glorious fusion of purple, blue and black.
14. Its stores and haute couture!
15. The graffiti- in the tunnels, on the walls, on dumpsters, on pavements!!! I adore them.
16. The New York Yankee hats
17. The pedestrian crossings and the little white man running on the warning signal.
18. The city is just bursting with colour!
