New York, New York. The city that never sleeps. Or, more accurately, the city that's never quiet.

Listen closely today and notice the familiar music slowly awakening. Only this time, hear a new song, born to a determined resilience that has come to define New Yorkers. Hear it most clearly alongside social capital and ingenuity. Hear the pigeon schools flocking for handouts, street vendors haggling over the cost of goods, shoe soles clapping against the sidewalk pavement, servers moving their instruments curbside. Hear a developing melody that is fraught with unknowns but reassured by community and nostalgia.
