We're really lucky to live near the center of the modern world, New York City. I grew up in Staten Island, and I would take the ferry over to Manhattan all the time. It was just something we did. And I'll admit, I took the city for granted.

It's kinda like that episode of "Friends" where Monica and Chandler are showing the soon to be mother of their kids all the sight-seeing spots in Manhattan. You forget how awesome all those places are when you live with the congestion and the traffic and the prices etc.

Thankfully, this aerial drone footage might make you love NYC all over again. The shots of Manhattan, the bridges and even the hulking, rusted ships off the Staten Island coast (yep, that's where they are) all help to make NYC look like a place you want to rediscover again.

Seriously. I might be planning a trip down right now if it wasn't -37 degrees and snowing.
