What Do New Yorkers Love About Their City?

How does the way we talk about things shape the way we see them? On a hot July day, the artist Marco Santini took to the New York City subway to ask, “What do you love about New York City?” The answers will make you rethink the way language shapes our view of the world!

What words do you use to describe the place you love? How do you feel about that place, right now, thinking about those words? A little happier, more joyful, a little less stressed, maybe? If we talked about what we loved about a place, what we admired about somebody, and what brought us joy about each other more often, how would that change the way we see the world? The trick to seeing the world in a brighter way is far easier than you may think!
