Competitive About Everything

Midtown

"New Yorkers are competitive about everything. They even run for revolving doors, as though it might be the last available space."
John Bohannon, Abracadabra, You're Dead

Flying Permits

Alwyn Court

"In New York there are unions for virtually everything. Even the pigeons are required to have permits to fly around New York City. And those permits are expensive, which is why you see so many pigeons walking around Manhattan sidewalks."

John Bohannon, Abracadabra, You're Dead

The Credo of New Yorkers

Winter Garden

"The credo of all New Yorkers is: Keep to yourself, mind your own business, and import friends from another part of town. Any contact, except with close trusted friends,must remain superficial. It's how to stay healthy --emotionally and physically-- in New York City."
John Bohannon, Abracadabra, You're Dead
