How To Celebrate
Being a New Yorker deserves to be celebrated. Every February 12th (2.12), let’s recognize all the unique things that make being a New Yorker amazing.
How to celebrate New Yorkers Day on February 12th
Create it.
Throughout the year, follow along with @NewYorkersDay, as we recollect on all things that make being a New Yorker great. On February 12th, it’s time to celebrate them through experience, either in NY or recreating them wherever you are!
Eat it.
THE FOOD! THE FOOD! Bagels, Hot Dogs, A Slice of Pizza (folded of course), anything that screams New York!
Share it.
Don’t celebrate alone. This is our time to teach the next generation about those before them. The history of New York, your life there, and the staples that make living there so unique. Storytellers Unite!
“My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they're misunderstood. I don't think people realize how kind New York people are.”
— Bill Murray
“New Yorkers are born all over the country, and then they come to New York City and it hits them: Oh, that's who I am.”
— Delia Ephron
“The true New Yorker” as someone who came with a “secret belief that people living anywhere else had to be, in some sense, kidding”
