  1. New York City is awesome
  2. The holiday season in the city is equally great

On the subway there other day, I saw someone throw himself between the doors to let these two old women catch the subway. Doesn’t sound like much, but it was a happy scene.

Then on the same subway, there were three guys who sang Christmas carols. But they didn’t just sing regular carols, they sang carols with a beatboxer. That made it awesome. I recorded a bit of it below.


I love the holidays in the city.
