โ€œLived in Queens my whole life and somehow never walked the Astoria waterfront at sunset until last month. Felt like I was visiting a completely different city. Now I'm trying to explore one new neighborhood a week just by getting off at a random subway stop and walking around. Did Sunset Park last weekend and found the best dumplings I've ever had at a place I can't even remember the name of. Makes me wonder how much of my own city I've been ignoring for 34 years.โ€

โ€œI've lived in my city for 8 years. go to work, go home, visit the same handful of restaurants and coffee shops. this weekend some friends visited from out of town and wanted to do touristy things. i took them to museums ive never been to, neighborhoods ive never explored, restaurants id never tried. i had more fun showing them around than i've had in months of my regular routine. Made me realize ive been treating my city like a backdrop for my life rather than a place to actually experience.โ€
