New York hits different when a bagel is a life raft.

Zara races from neon rooftops to subway tunnels, eats her way across the city, and turns Times Square into her own three-centimeter stage.

  2. 02Liberty — climb the torch

Chapter 01 · Liberty

214
crates

Lady Liberty crossed the Atlantic in pieces. Zara meets her at the top — tiny camera flash against one of the most famous torches on Earth.

The statue arrived as 350 pieces packed into 214 crates and was dedicated in 1886.

Chapter 02 · Downtown

Ride.
Fold.
Repeat.

The subway becomes a skate park. A pizza slice becomes a surfboard. In New York, even lunch moves fast.

The first subway opened on October 27, 1904, running from City Hall to 145th Street.

Chapter 03 · Star turn

The Zara
Shuffle

Black satin. Silver heels. Wet neon pavement. One shuffle, one spin, one freeze — then the whole square joins in.

Shuffle · shuffle · spin · freeze. Your turn.

Chapter 04 · Hidden beneath

The city
before
concrete

New York Harbor once held vast oyster reefs. After overharvesting and pollution erased most of them, students, restaurants, scientists, and volunteers began building the habitat back shell by shell.

Billion Oyster Project is working toward restoring one billion oysters to New York Harbor by 2035.

Restore the harbor — or leave it wild?

New York once had reefs so thick ships ran aground on oysters. Zara wants your call.
