I love it when New York shows its hand.

We all have an ace in our back pocket. It's something that makes us feel our best on our toughest days or during our most important moments. Maybe it's a certain shirt and tie combo. A lucky t-shirt. A certain perfume or set of heels. A favorite song blaring through headphones on the walk to work. Whatever it is, the world is at your taking.



New York has its share of aces. Some are no longer with us, and others have been here for what seems like forever. When the Chrysler Building shows its face, you know this city wins every time. There is something indescribably powerful yet humbling about its presence. It reminds you where you are, what you're doing, and what can be. It can make a bad day better, and a good day great. It makes you reminiscence. It makes you dream. It makes you thankful for what you have, while at the same time making you thirsty for more.
