New York System

Grand Central Terminal

"New Yorkers don’t really care, in the best way, if you’re in the city. The thing I love so much about this place: You are here, and you join the machine, and you figure out how to work within the system. New York is its own system, and you come and go, and it doesn’t really notice, and that’s OK."
Amy Poehler, Page Six

Broke in New York

"There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better."
Amy Poehler, L.A. Times Magazine

Time Management

West 57th

"Etiquette in New York is all about time management. In other places, you seem rude if you see someone and don't talk to them long enough. But here, it's all about speed. And people are fine with that. It's like, 'Hello. It’s nice to see you. Thank you for giving me your kidney. I gotta go.'"
Amy Poehler, New York Magazine
