"When Danielle Pogue hits the pavement each morning for the cross-borough trek to her office in Brooklyn, she relies on two essentials to propel her forward: a perfectly curated Spotify playlist and the mental power to romanticize each step. "I have perfected the New York City strut," Pogue told me. Pogue, 27, graduated from college in 2020 and entered the labor force at the height of the pandemic, when working remotely was more necessary than trendy."
"In October, Pogue posted a video of her daily strut on TikTok set to KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See," the song that memorably plays during the opening credits of 2006 movie " The Devil Wears Prada." Pogue captioned the post, "hot tip: romanticize your commute to work by listening to this song & acting like you're in a '90s romcom." It's amassed over 70,000 views and counting."
