As the British King and Queen visit America, it's a nice time to remember that, while England might be America's Mother Country, a lot of English people have found NYC to be a nice place to visit -- or even move to.
Including the Royals -- I've blogged a lot about royal excursions in NYC, and this big Vanity Fair article is all about their favorite hotel to stay in while visiting the city.
After all, the bond between NYC and England is inescapable: the City of New York is named after the City of York in England -- although obviously the sequel has far surpassed its OG namesake.
Anyway, here's a couple of interesting documentaries about English people in NYC -- including one about gay icon Quentin Crips aka The Naked Civil Servant. Enjoy!
