In previous posts around her trip, Amanda Balionis left emotional comments about her days in New York (via The Spun):

"And so concludes my summer in New York. The city that shaped me in my 20’s, fortified me all these years later.

Grateful for: all of the adventures with old friends and new, dive bars, endless wandering and discovering, soup dumplings, a renewed desire to create both personally and professionally, bodega coffee, knowing I can always return to a city that fills my soul and feels like home."

Balionis has a strong connection to New York for several reasons. She studied at Hofstra University, just 29 miles from the city, and has worked for CBS Sports since 2017 which is headquartered in Manhattan.

As a result, she regularly shares her love for New York with her Instagram followers. Every time she visits the city, she usually posts expressions of happiness in her stories.
