What makes a New Yorker?

Hi, I'm Adam Fields and I'm a native New Yorker. All of my life, there's been a debate about what makes a "true New Yorker". Is it people born here? Is it people who went to school here? Is it that guy who arrived two weeks ago and is looking for the Sbarro in Times Square?

Yes. Sure. All of it.

There are all kinds of flavors of New Yorker, and I want to honor that. You're all New Yorkers. The common thread is pride in being part of the best city in the world. Your city. Our city.

Born here? native.nyc

Live here now? currently.nyc

Used to live here? formerly.nyc

Your heart lives here? always.nyc

Right now, you can get an email address at one of these domains, because email refuses to die. I have other stuff in the works, and I'm exploring more ideas about how to create more community here. You can always find me at adam@native.nyc. I'd love to hear from you. If you want to follow the other things I'm working on, check out af.buzz.
