•the misty blanked of fog that hangs low in the sky and veils the top of the buildings

•a street-corner singer, crooning softly and strumming their guitar with calloused fingers

•a hidden coffee shop, tucked away in a tiny ally

•scooping out the best second-hand bookstores

•waiting for the subway at midnight whistle listening to soft jazz

•a sea of umbrellas all moving as one of their owners hurry towards their destinations

•reading from a rooftop terrace, feeling like you're simply floating above the world

•riding the bus in the rain, passing the time by thumbing a well-worn anthology of romantic era poetry

•researching the history of the city, and making it a goal to find the still-standing historical landmarks
