This is the city...

I forget sometimes that New York is THE New York.

It's the city
that was slimed
that the Stay Puft Marshmallow man ploughed through
where Cary Grant had an affair to remember
where the broadway melody started
where a miracle took place on 34th street
where tony met a girl named maria
where someone had breakfast at tiffanys
where Vito Corleone and Michael ate cannoli
where King Kong decided to climb
where Travis Bickle asks himself who he's talkin' to
where Tony Manero strikes his disco pose
where Jake LaMotta coulda been a contender
where Annie saw her hard knocked life
where the Muppets took to
where Roy Hobbs played
where Daryl Hannah loses her fins
where Rosanna Arquette desperately sought susan
where Fievel lives
where Mick Dundee explains what a real knife is
where fatal attraction can happen
where people get moonstruck
where Robert Downey Jr picked up Molly Ringwald
where 3 men can have a baby
where Tom Cruise made his first cocktail
where Akeem Joffer came to America
where Michelle Pfieffer married the mob
where Oliver & his Company decided not to worry
where Melanie Griffith became a working girl
where Harry met Sally
where Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze had that ridiculous ceramic wheel scene
where good fellas came from
where the teenage mutant ninja turtles got their pizza
where we got jungle fever
where the prince of tides is from
where strictly business is had
where Kevin was left home alone again
where the single white females become something to worry about
where the coneheads landed
where murder mysteries become funny
where it could happen to you
where you can die hard with a vengeance
where you meet the usual suspects
where a mighty aprhodite works
where Leonardo Di Caprio takes heroin for the first time
where David doesn't recognize Sabrina
where the 1st wives club holds meetings
where Melvin Udall asks himself if this is as good as it gets
where the devil's advocate moves
where the fifth element is found
where people have great expectations
where we met Joe Black
where we analyzed this
where John Malkovich was
where Thomas Crown had his affair
where the boiler room was born
where John Shaft asked, still the man, any questions?
where we learned what coyote ugly meant
where artificial intelligence became real
where Derek had his orange mocha frappaccino
where we caught Leonardi because we could
where Bill 'The Butcher' had his gang
where Spiderman lived
where Elf found his pieces of candy
where we found how to lose a guy in 10 days
and where we learned of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samanatha

THIS is the city I live in.

What mark am I going to leave?
