Today is somehow the seventeenth anniversary of my moving (back) to New York (I was born here but we moved away when I was very young and I grew up elsewhere). Seventeen years is an absurd and embarrassing amount of time to have lived anywhere. It is also an amount of time that means people I know who come to visit the city ask me for recommendations and it also means I am uniquely ill-equipped to give them recommendations. But, to celebrate this anniversary, here's my updated list of Things To Do In New York City. I wrote a version of this last year (long-time subscribers will recognize pieces of it), and I've updated and added to it today. My idea is that I'll send an updated version of this list every year on this anniversary, for however long some version of this project is going on, but we’ll see what happens.
