My New York: Saudi lawyer Aljoharah Albasri gives us the lowdown on life in the Big Apple 

RIYADH: Aljoharah Albasri is a 32-year-old lawyer in “the energy and infrastructure space” who has been living in New York for the past two years. What’s the best thing about New York? At the risk of sounding cliché, it’s the energy. New York has this pulse that makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger. It’s inspiring. You’re constantly surrounded by ambition, culture, and beauty in so many different forms. And the worst thing? The chaos. It can get too…. people-y sometimes. There’s always noise, light, and congested streets.
