Your Neighborhood

Hanover St.

"New York is never a megalopolis of however many millions; it's always just your neighborhood—the shoe repair guy, the carpenter, the grocer, the post office— like any small town in Texas, really."
Dan Rather, My First New York

Fiction of Sorts

42nd Street Subway Station


"New York is a fiction of sorts, a construct, a story, into which you can walk at any moment and at any angle, and end up blindsided, turned upside down, changed."
Colum McCann, My First New York
