August in Manhattan

NYPL in Morningside Heights

"It was August, and hot and humid as only August in Manhattan can be; the city lay enclosed in a monstrous bowl of airless, evil-smelling gray-yellow stud that might be air but would kill most Amazonian Indians."
Judith Krantz, I'll Take Manhattan

Constant Lover

"My New York City talks to me all the time, whispers in my ear, keeps me grounded, thrills me, makes the improbable seem possible, is my constant lover."
Annette Meyers, I'll Take Manhattan

Moral Suasion

The New York Times building

"This is New York City, babe, and moral suasion is found only on the op-ed page of the Times."
Judith Krantz, I'll Take Manhattan
