One thing I’ve learned since moving to New York is that this city never runs out of things to offer. Every week feels different, and there’s always something happening somewhere that makes you feel lucky to be here. Whether it’s a new exhibition, a street performance, or a late-night event that you just stumble upon, it’s impossible to get bored.
These past weeks have been full of exploring. I’ve spent my evenings discovering new corners of the city and my weekends wandering into museums and galleries. The art scene here is so alive that you could visit something new every day and still never see it all. Recently, I stopped by the Museum of Modern Art to see the “Crafting Modernity” exhibition, which brings together design and architecture from Latin America. A few days later, I ended up at the Whitney Museum, where the view from the terrace is just as impressive as the art inside.
But the best part is that there’s always something unexpected waiting around the corner. One night, I came across a free outdoor screening in Bryant Park, and the next weekend I found a pop-up installation in SoHo that felt like stepping into another world. It’s that sense of spontaneity that makes living here so exciting—you can plan your day, but the city always seems to have its own plans for you.
And then there are moments that remind you why being here is so special. Right now, one of the most fascinating exhibitions in the city is “Two Home Countries” by Chiharu Shiota at the Japan Society. Her work explores themes of memory, identity, and belonging through delicate webs of red and black thread that completely transform the space. It’s emotional, immersive, and thought-provoking, the kind of exhibition that makes you stop and reflect long after you leave.
That’s what I love most about New York. There’s a constant sense of movement, creativity, and discovery. You never really know what you’ll encounter next, and that unpredictability makes everyday life feel like an adventure. Living here means being surrounded by opportunities to learn and be inspired, and I’m trying to make the most of every single one of them.
