What makes NYC so great is that we love and preserve our past without being afraid to step into our future. We appreciate what we have inherited while creating new things to bequeath.
And then there's the spirit of renewal and restoration -- making the old new again, refreshing the past for the present.
This week saw two NYC icons being refreshed -- one is a literally a TV show that we renewed for another season and the other is a great museum that has reopened after a long renovation.
The Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That ... has just started its second season. The show about once four, now three, NYC ladies and their glamorous if sometimes messy lives has kept this town enthralled for a quarter of century now. The show and its denizens are as much a part of this city as the city is part of them. New Yorkers seem unable to get enough of these quintessential city broads -- and their back, renewed and ready for action (!).
Also, having blogged about it earlier this year, it's great to see that the Hispanic Society of America has reopened after five years of renovations. This gorgeous and important museum in Upper Manhattan gives you a view of the massive and mighty Spanish world. A gift from the past to the city ... given again.
