There are a million reasons New York is the most special place on earth, but days like today make you feel all of them at once.

Today marks 25 years since 9/11, a day that changed New York and the world forever. As we remember those we lost and the families and friends who still carry that loss, we’re also reminded of the strength of this city and the way New Yorkers come together and show up for one another when it matters most.

Feeling extra grateful to call this place home today. ❤️
