New York is many things; I am not sure if any other city has inspired so many different movies, art and people. Perhaps the most impressive thing about New York is its resilience. I may not know much about New York; I haven’t lived there and have only visited briefly, but all you have to do is look at the news yesterday to see their strength. New York was hit with a terrible tragedy, a tragedy that has shaped the world, one which we all have had to deal with and grow up with, and the city is still there, proud as ever and looking forward to the future. The tragedy that was and is 9-11 does not define New York but New York defined how we dealt with it. The people picked themselves up, helped each other selflessly and helped each other heal together.

New York is so resilient that  when Le Parker Meridian wanted to build their hotel where The Burger Joint was located, they refused to sell and forced the hotel to build around them!

So here is to you, New York. We will always remember and never forget your tenacity and resilience in the face of tragedy.
