Patriotic

Fire hydrant in Midtown

"New York is a great city, too great for envy; New York is a powerful city, too powerful for boasting; New York is a generous city, too generous to feel the need to extol the art of giving; New York is a patriotic city, too patriotic to be satisfied with service of the lips."
Nicholas Murray Butler, American Patriotic Prose
