The city has underground art galleries, collectives, independent bookstores, huge community farm, all created by normal people like you and me.
Boulder, Colo. Photo: Richard Johnson Boulder, Colo. As a gay person I wanted to be some place where I was welcomed for who I am, not what I am. I was sick of all the anti-gay politicians and religious fundamentalists in the south. Boulder is located in a dramatic natural environment, right at the literal edge where mountains meet plains.

It's true that there's more competition in New York than in most other cities, but there's also a host of opportunity.
Gotham is a city in which you can make that opportunity. You can come here with a dream and work hard to achieve it. I can vouch that dreams do indeed come true here every single day. If I get bored with my section of town, I can hop on the subway for 30 to 40 minutes and escape to what feels like another state or country. If I get tired of my local pizzeria, I can choose from hundreds of other pizza parlors throughout the city. New York City offers so much variety that you could live here your entire life and not eat in every restaurant, see every Broadway show, hit every jazz club, or live in every neighborhood.
You never run out of new things to do, dishes to eat, places to visit, or people to meet. NYC is an ever-evolving city, and that's the beauty of living here.

Maybe during all these quarantines, I will wait in Brooklyn, and then when everything gets back t normal I will be a happy Manhattaner. Diversity One of the city's greatest attributes is its diversity, and NYC is often thought of as America's melting pot. Energy There's no other city on the planet with an energy that can compete with New York.
