Moneyed Gloss

The Standard Hotel

"The immensely rich history that this city wore so proudly and loudly on its streets and in its different neighborhoods is disappearing under a bland layer of gentility, servility, and newly moneyed gloss. New York will be recognizable only by its landmarks, not its vibrant and historic mix."
Maggie Wrigley,  Suburbanization of New York
