Last Saturday I met Candace, a “real” New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx. I had to laugh at the way she defied the stereotype- Candace was friendly and bubbly, a real effervescent personality. Goes to show me…About Candace:
Favorite Movie: The Sweetest Thing. Although I haven’t seen it, we bonded over our mutual admiration of Cameron Diaz and our shame at knowing Christina Applegate primarily as the old Kelly Bundy. Alas, first impressions die hard!
Favorite Food: Pizza. Real New York style.
Favorite Thing about NYC: Summertime. I have to agree- this is a city that knows how to live up the sunny season.
One Thing She’d Like to Tell People: “There are places outside of New York. Most native New Yorkers don’t realize that.”
Candace really liked the idea of onthetwo, and she said she’d check it out. She even got her Blackberry out to note the web address- I was impressed. I told her to promise to leave a comment when she got here, so that I’d know she really saw it. Because…I’m not sure why. Just because! That would be cool.
Candace, are you there?!? If you ever make it here, it was lovely meeting you and I hope life is treating you well today. : )
P.S. I forgot her friends! In the picture...Candace "and friends." They told me to put that.
