Inspired by the most fabulous trip I’ve ever taken. A week of wonderful memories in the city that never sleeps.
I fell in love with Manhattan in the Morning
When the air is cold, but crisp and fulfilling
The hustle and bustle of the city is just beginning
And the subway terminal is a warm shield from the chilliness above
Lower Manhattan is vibrant in its early hours
Young Businessmen in full suits dawn Wall Street on their way to work
The NYU students attend class in Greenwich Village near Washington Square
People pay their respects as they pass the Trade Center memorial pools
Midtown is quieter during the daybreak
There are no concerts at Radio City Music Hall, the Rockettes are still fast asleep
No one is observing from the top of Empire yet, but the window washers are hard at work
The theaters of Broadway haven’t been lit yet, they don’t flash and blink like they do in the night
I fell in love with Manhattan at every hour
All times of day
But there is something special about the morning
When there is a full day ahead
And the city that never sleeps begins to wake up
