In this mythical city called New York of over 8,000,000 wandering souls, this tiny corner of the vast tangled world wide web we weave will share my New York via my eyes. You are also encouraged to share your photographs should you so please because after all, mynewyork is also yournewyork and i'm sure you love ournewyork as much as I do.

When this video was brought to my attention by fellow mynewyork reader, Jamie G. up in the Bronx I was FLOORED...newyorkers do come in all shades of crazy but that's what makes us such an exciting place...you never know when you're gonna get a free peep show.

If ever there was an image of the quintessential newyorker, Fran Lebowitz would definitely fit the bill. Like many newyorkers, Ms. Lebowitz is very opinionated but unlike most, she is one of the most quoted speakers and is known to be the queen of one liners.
Now, another newyorker, Martin Scorcese, gives us almost 90 Lebowitz filled minutes in a new HBO documentary called Public Speaking. Fellow newyorker, Annmarie S., who recommended the documentary to mynewyork, said that Fran Lebowitz's "...comment on the impact of the AIDS crisis on our society and culture surpasses any I've ever heard as far as capturing the impact of the loss of that echelon of society." After reading such a powerful statement by Annmarie, I just had to tune in and I was definitely not disappointed.
A big thanks to newyorker, Annmarie S. for tipping us on this great piece of ournewyork!
