Pacing New York

East River Park

"New York needs to be paced, to be left and returned to, like a lover who asks too much. And when you do return, with that unfailing excitement you cross the Henry Hudson Bridge and realize you are back. To return to New York is to repossess it. After a year abroad or a day in the country, you hungrily reclaim the city, and the city responds, recharging you, awaiting your deepest pleasure."
Stephen Brook, New York Days, New York Nights
