- Evidently, as I discovered in July, police horses are common in Times Square. Still, my slight horse obsession leads me to appreciate finding a horse even in Manhattan’s streets.

It was only a little more than a week after I left New York that they were inundated by Hurricane Sandy, including in some of the parts of lower Manhattan that I had visited. It was somewhat surreal, even having heard the news reports about what a massive storm it would be, to see parts of the city and the subway stations underwater. One thing that is certain about New York though, it is a strong and resilient city. With help, they will rebound.
