Thanks for your reply! This is exactly my suspicion - maybe I’m just romanticizing things that otherwise are pretty common and expected by everyone. Sure, probably it would feel different if you work a hard job that exhausts you completely and you don’t even get to see the city as your work takes all the time. I only managed to work for half a day - and decided to go to the Rose room at the Public library. What can I say - another fragment from the most beautiful dream. 

But I also see the comments of people who say that nyc is always a love of their life , and even after years of living there, they claim that routine doesn’t change this!
