NY Mag Tells New Yorkers Why They Should Love Their City

For my final blog post for JO 304, I'm going to take a look at New York Magazine's Reasons to Love New York 2012. 

The list gives 74 reasons why New York is great. The top part of the list features icons that link to  corresponding text. 

For example, New York Magazine thinks Times Square might be better than ever, which is one of the longest articles on the list. Many of the items are quick and funny excerpts like the fact that Eli Manning has won two Super Bowls and still looks like he's 12-years-old. 

New York Magazine also added a photo slideshow if readers needed even more reasons to love New York this year. 

Overall, the list is entertaining and there is a good mix of poignant articles about New York and what it's been through as well as the sarcastic humor that NY Mag is known for. 

I wish that every entry on the list had an icon to go with it, but overall the list is each to scroll through and none of the articles are too long so they keep readers' attention. It's a list that I would go through in it's entirety and it reminded me that even though I live in Boston now, I'll always have a special place in my heart for New York.
