“New York is the prom king. He knows he’s great, and he’s gonna make it really, really hard on you if you decide you want to love him”
Photo: Maya Robinson and Photo by Leigh Vogel/Corbis On Saturday night, I found myself in a karaoke bar at 3:45 a.m., participating in a raucous group rendition of “New York, New York.” This, you may be surprised to learn, represented a certain amount of personal growth. Even though some of my best friends in the world live here and it’s the epicenter of my professional universe, “not really liking New York” has long been part of who I am.
It’s always struck me as hilarious that friends who tout their taste in undiscovered music and underground supper clubs were so loyal to the most popular city in America. New York is the prom king. He knows he’s great, and he’s gonna make it really, really hard on you if you decide you want to love him. New York is increasingly a city for people who are already on top, not for those looking to establish themselves.
