On the occasion of the Statue of Liberty’s birthday, our author wrote a declaration of love to a city. Because New York can do what some men never can. And it’s better there than in Berlin.

Dhe Statue of Liberty is celebrating its 130th birthday. And besides her iconic importance, she is that Landmark of a city that I consider the best in the world. A city that is the only one in the world that allows this conclusion: The great love of your life does not have to be a man. It can also consist of skyscrapers.
We learned this wisdom from the series “Sex and the City”, especially in the episode “Anchors Away”, in which a sailor dares to criticize Carrie for New York. Too loud, too big, the usual stupid stuff.
She then leaves him, of course, because: “If you only find one great love in life, then it may well be that my name is New York,” says Carrie. And: “The city is my date. For about 18 years . Something serious is developing. I think I’m in love.”
