Going Up and Up

Park Avenue Buildings

"A city on an island, teeming with cash and ego, has nowhere to go but up. And up. And up. Imagine the Manhattan skyline in a time-lapse filmstrip, starting around 1890 — when the New York World Building crested above the 284-foot spire of Trinity Church — and culminating in the present day: it is a series of continual skyward propulsions, each new proud round overshadowing the last."
Michael Kimmelman, New York Times Magazine

New York Feeling

"Living in New York, you're always going to feel a little broke. You're always going to feel like an outsider. And you're always going to feel a little vulnerable."
Jim Gaffigan, The New York Times Magazine

Where to Live

Soho

"You can live wherever you want—as long as people think you live in New York."

Benita Valente, The New York Times Magazine
