New York City is, in my opinion, the best city in the world. It does have a fair share of problems, but I love how iconic the whole entire city is. The overwhelming feeling of just being there feels quiet humbling. That’s why I was so excited when I found an Instagram account (@overheardnewyork) that is dedicated to posting snippets of conversations that happened in New York.
Of the thousands they already have posted, I have chosen a couple that I feel really embrace the beautiful, chaos that is New York.
