Things to Love About New York

The rest of the country typically bemoans New York's ability to love itself, but in light of the city's recent struggles, the Big Apple could use a boost to its self esteem. This week, New York Magazine publishes its annual "Reasons to Love New York" list. Among the entries: "Obama is one of us, despite all that business about Chicago"; "Eli is now the Manning"; "Because you can catch a world class-fish in the shadow of skyscrapers"; and because sentences like this, from Joseph O'Neill, are written about the city: "Sometimes to walk in shaded parts of Manhattan is to be inserted into a Magritte: the street is night while the sky is day." We are humbled and honored that the mag included The Daily Beast and its proprietor.
