About 10 Years ago, I visited New York with my junior high class as part of a field trip…

To be honest I hadn’t thought much about going back until recently. A few friends had made the decision to move out East from their homes in California to try their hand at a completely new lifestyle away from everything we had become accustomed to at home. To them, New York represented a new opportunity, a fresh start, a new job, and a general departure from the previous lives they lived back home. I was curious and wanted to really glimpse into my friends’ lives and see if this city of dreamers had given them a new outlook on life or was just purely hype.
