Love Letter

Once Upon a Time...


There was girl who was New York City phobic. No matter how many episodes of Sex and the City she watched, she was still intimidated by the intensity of such a place.

Until...




She walked through Central Park in the winter. 



She was wowed by one Broadway show and



then another.




She was dazzled by the lights of Time Square.



She hung out with an Avenger at FAO Scwartz.



She inhaled pickles, pastrami, and cheesecake while sugary snow sprinkled outside, and

She fell in love with New York City.
