Here’s to rock legend Debbie Harry of Blondie and rock’s current It-Boy @mrcameron_winter of @geesebandnyc listening to 'Roadrunner' by Modern Lovers together on the train — and to #ReasonstoLoveNewYork, our 21st annual reminder of why (rent hikes, rat kings, and all) we wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
Because retired teachers can find new careers as background actors, and truck drivers can build the city out of wood. Because our kids have traded in their cell phones for a deck of cards. Because a Ukrainian teenager can learn her homeland’s dances on Astor Place. Because our neighbors are willing to stand up to ICE. Because, even now, it’s still the best place to become an artist.
And because photographer @SubwayHands (@hannahlafolletteryan ) noticed more and more people reverting to and sharing wired headphones on public transit, we asked our cover stars to share them too, a bud in each ear.
At the link in our bio, read all 39 reasons to love New York right now.
