When I think of London, I think of the colour red, much like when I think of New York I think of the colour yellow. And not because of those iconic buses, but because of the brilliant neons that light up the streets after dark. Red Light District showcases the city of London when night falls, the neons of the Soho turn on and red floods the street.

Sixty minutes goes quickly when life happens. So quick it almost feels like a tenth of the time. Just three thousand, six hundred seconds. But a lot can happen and a lot can change in the window of time, particularly when there are thousands of lives passing through one small district of one capital city on an island in a continent somewhere in the world. 

There are many vantage points from which to view the city of New York, but one speaks to me more than the others. Don’t get me wrong, watching Manhattan Island from the Staten Island Ferry is quite special, as is taking in the skyline from the Rockefeller Centre. But it’s rare that a view simultaneously offers both scale and a sense of being right in the thick of it, yet a quarter of a way onto Manhattan Bridge from the Bowery offers this generously.
