We may have a map and a compass-like mind
Let's ask anyway, what we're trying to find
One may be a fantastic detective
but asking directions gives a different perspective
The locals know what's what and what's not
maybe that bar isn't really our kind of hot...
Using all our incredible senses
is not among life's biggest offenses
Let's put the smartphone away
and wonder about, just stray
Explore and experience more!
Isn't that what we're all here for?
As we all know
when it works, the subway is the fastest way to go
This travel can be delicate
without some "proper etiquette"
The list of do's and don'ts is long
New Yorkers know what's right, what's wrong
We all agree our trip is eased
when we're not squeezed, teased or in any other way displeased
The most reliable way around town?
Walking! East, west, up and down
Focused, fast and checking our clocks
We're counting the street and avenue blocks
Eyeing the crosswalk countdown to zero
Our coat like the cape of a superhero
Stomping away on the bustling street
Thanking our terrifically trusted feet!
A Recap of our discoveries in February.

Say hello, talk about the weather or the mail
Eye contact, a smile, let's not just bail
Not only is this polite
but may be helpful that dark, rainy night
when we ring their doorbell and say “Please,
would you let me in? I forgot my keys”
If we're moving here or visiting from afar
remember, others have been where we are
Though we may feel like explorers in our newfound 'hood
the family down the street has been here since the Knicks were really good
Let's respect the exchange
between change and history's range
Each person with a different story
-- New York City's true glory

Roger, Vika and Rafa may have gone down Down Under, but their style and that of players that came before them have always started off the year with a statement. Before the dawn of the Open Era (1968) where players like Margaret Court (11 titles), Roy Emerson (7) and Jack Crawford (4) collected titles like baseball cards, the uniform of the day was all white, dignified, conformist, and well, boring. Then came the splashy art canvases of the 80's and early 90's with spread eagle motifs, paint spatter and day-glo made most famous by Andre Agassi (4). The late 90's and the dominance of Pete Sampras (2 Australian Titles) on the Men's tour returned the aesthetic to a quieter more subdued style. In the early 2000's, new materials like Nike's dri-fit™ ushered in a new generation of design freedom, lighter weight and moisture management for everyone from top tour players to public park players looking to emulate their heroes.
