I have to admit it, I’m not a fan of NYC. It’s exhausting and just over the top.

But there’s something about cities in general that just intrigue me. The hustle and bustle and the noise. It can be sensory overload for sure.

I’m good with visiting New York annually. That’s more than enough.

Philly on the other hand, is just different. I can’t put my figure on it, but it’s a different vibe all together. I’m bias because I grew up going to Philly quite a bit and took the train through Center City daily to get to high school back in the day.

There’s just something about Philly that’s different.
