New York is Waiting

"Skyscrapers and subways and stations
Staring up at the United Nations
New York is waiting for you and me, baby
Waiting to swallow us down
New York, we're coming to see what you're made of
Are you as great as you sound."
Alice Cooper, Big Apple Dreamin'

New York Look

"New Yorkers want to look they're on the verge of death 24/7. To achieve this look, they make sure their skin resembles that of a corpse and flaunt their malnourished figure proudly. 'No, honey, this body was not brought to you by exercise and kale."
Ryan O'Connell, Thought Catalog

Electric Hum

"The thing about living in New York City is that it's never really quiet. It's like when there's a television on in the next room and you know it's on, because you can feel the electric hum of it. To live in a place like this is to live in the middle of an electric hum that never stops."
Rob Hart, New Yorked
