Could I live in the city?

For many on this trip it was their first time to the city. But for me, I had been to New York just a couple weeks earlier and had visited a handful of times before. This trip was more about me figuring out if I could actually live in New York. So I wanted to do the things that I would normally do at home. I wanted to go to local deli’s, play basketball, commute on the subway, etc.. The city feels different when you just go about your day as opposed to going sightseeing and visiting tourist attractions. After a week of falling in a routine of waking up, going to my meetings, working out, and hanging out with my peers; I came to the conclusion that I could live in this city. It has so much to do for all your every day needs and a place that could keep things fresh when you fall into a long routine.
