Today we met Savvy Traveler, the host of the world-renowned
show called The Perfect City Show. On
the show, Savvy visits a different city each week trying to find a city that is
perfect. She’s been all over the world –
and this week, she came to New York City.
We were lucky enough to be in her studio audience!
She toured around the great places in NYC – from the Statue
of Liberty to the Empire State Building to Broadway and everywhere in
between. She loved what she saw and was
fairly certain she had found a perfect city… until she started to interview us!
We told her that as much as we love our
city (and we bragged an awful lot about the great cultures, the wonderful food,
and the amazing parks), it isn’t perfect.
We have crime. We have
pollution. We have people without
homes. Savvy Traveler was upset that she
would once again have to pack up and travel to a new city.
But then an audience member spoke up! She said that NO city was perfect! No matter where Savvy went, she’d always find
things that weren’t perfect. At first,
Savvy was crushed. But quickly we told
her our idea – to simply change the name of the show from The Perfect City Show
to the Nice City Show – a show about a city that has lots of great attributes
but also is working to improve. We told
her that we would become her cast and crew on this new show over the next few
weeks and help her find the great things about NYC, the things that need to be
fixed, and highlight how our city tries to help itself become even better. How exciting!
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we work with Savvy
Traveler on the Nice City Show!
