One Taste of the Apple

JFK Airport

"All the kids decide the city with its winos and grifters and noise and dirty streets is totally horrid—gross, as kids today would put it—except for a boy who knows at once that New York is the city of his dreams and destiny; the place that will allow him to soar above and beyond the lowest common denominator. One taste of the Apple, and this boy is gloriously seduced and corrupted."
Thomas Adcock, Grief Street
