The Big Apple reserves surprises around every corner, in the center of each square. You wake up in the morning and you don't even care about the news: daily news can wait, because in any case your day will be great if you get a chance to take a walk in Times Square.Most of us spend a good chunk of our lives chasing the much-desired happiness, probably without noticing that it's often enclosed in the simplest things, like a Sunday walk in Central Park or a sunset seen from Brooklyn.
