City Limits by Colson Whitehead was largely about what he thought it meant to be a New Yorker. He defined being a New Yorker as being someone who has seen things come and go, people, buildings, businesses. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, but from the moment you enter New York your own personal slice of New York’s creation has begun. Like a fresh slice of $1 pizza that you just keep adding Parmesan and oregano to. City Limits goes on to talk about how although New York is an ever changing city, it’s sad to see things come and go. Places people were born and raised, places you once lived, the lunch spot, the hang out, where you had your first kiss. The city is constantly changing, so fast that you won’t have the time to say goodbye.
