But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.

I grew up in New York.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.

I'm a straight shooter, a New York City girl. I see things as they are and call them as they are.

I see a New York that is once again the empire state.

I wanted to experience New York, to look up and see buildings.
