Leaving New York And The Stars At Night

I mostly like New York, and whenever I leave, even if it's only for a few days, I tend to at least have one maudlin moment, and usually it's at the transfer point to the air train. There's something about seeing the train lines in winter that's quintessentially New York to me, and seeing the snow covered, dark early morning station in Newark really does it, even if they are technically in New Jersey.

Of course, the one thing that I hate about returning to New York is losing the sky. Nearly anywhere else the stars are so much more beautiful at night. I love lying on the beach, or standing on a snowy terrace in Vermont, and really being able to see all that.
