I'm a New Yorker, and I get a thrill every time I can experience my home through new eyes. It makes me think about my surroundings in a different way. Definitely don’t stop talking about NYC!

I'm taking notes for my dream trip to NYC! Also, I AM Marty. The quickest way to get rid of all those, "Marty, snap a picture of that" people is to hand them the camera and say, "Go ahead. Knock yourself out." So far, 100% shut the F#%@ up and hand the camera back. Don’t stop, Ruth. I’m taking notes for my dream trip to NYC!

I live near Munich, Germany now, but as a born and bred New Yorker (okay, the OTHER New York outside the City), I come to Manhattan at least once a year. And yes, I board the subway with that same stupid grin. I plan on coming again at the end of October for my book launch at the National Arts Club. Would love to gush New York with you so swing by to say hello if you're in the area (October 22 at 8 p.m. www.nationalartsclub.org)! You are the funniest writer, Ruth!
