Old Ways and New Ways

Astor Place

"The odd, old-fashioned pragmatism of New York's ways fascinated her. People who didn't live in the city always thought about it on two ends of the spectrum, magnificent and forward thinking, or dark and violent. But Elly was learning the truth. New York was the keeper of all things good. Old ways and new ways gathered together in a perfect hum of logic."
Suzanne Palmieri, The Witch of Little Italy
