ABCs of NYC

The ABCs of NYC are my personal love letters to NYC during quarantine times.

New Yorkers love to hate NYC. We love to complain about crowded subways. The smell of summer. The cost of a sandwich. But after two months of sheltering in place, restless city dwellers are longing for the days when we could pay $20 for a cocktail or yes, even be crammed into the L train during rush hour.

The ABCs of NYC: an illustrated alphabet of typical things in the Big Apple New Yorkers usually complain about but would love to have during quarantine times. It's a humorous series that pokes fun at our beloved NYC – the smell, sounds, and the ridiculousness of it all – but celebrates why we love it so.
