Over 26 years ago I packed two bags and moved to New York from Switzerland. Sometimes when you have been somewhere for so long, you learn to see what you see and forget what you saw when you first set foot in the city of your dreams. That’s what is so beautiful about this video by Andrew Clancy. As a newcomer to Manhattan, he shot his vision of our great city. This is the New York that we pass in our daily lives, the New York that exists beyond our car service windows, the people, the lights, the weather, the bridges, tunnels but most important – the vibrancy of New York. I think this wonderful video really captures the essence of New York. This is why New York and its real estate keeps soaring.
