4.0

Someone awesome gave this book to me, and I freaked out first. Saying goodbye to New York is scary. But as life in New York remains a mystery for me, and there are layers that I'd like to explore, I turned the pages to understand the city. My favorite story is the crackhead, and I can totally relate to this line "Working 9-5 in New York makes you delirious and claustrophobic, but when you don't have it you constantly worry about money."
