New York Appeal

"New York has an irresistible appeal. It believes in itself and in its centrality as no other city does. And New Yorkers so convincingly propagate the view that nothing happens anywhere else that we tend to assume they must be right. 'If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere' is our slogan, so we'll cheerfully put up with any amount of misery to be part of it."
Alexander Chancellor, The Spectator
