Emotional City

Riverside Park

"New York is a very emotional city. One day you can be feeling very good, feeling like you accomplished a lot, and the next day you can feel very lonely and swallowed up by it, because it’s so big. Your emotions run crazy."
Janet Jones Gretzky, NY Daily News

Something to Prove

Carl Schurz Memorial

"People don’t move to New York for physical comfort. People don’t stay and live here because it’s easy. For decades people have come, for the very reason that it is hard, because they’ve got something to prove, to themselves or to the world."

Exciting Feeling

Madison Square Garden

"Being in New York City is different than any other place,. New York City hums. There’s a drone, a sound in your mind when you're in New York City. It never sleeps. It’s going all the time. It’s power-packed. You can’t avoid the sensation of people doing things and going places and things going on. You just sense it the minute you’re in New York City, and that’s an exciting feeling to begin with."
Billy Joel, NY Daily News

Everyday is an Adventure

"New York is home — that's why I moved back here a year and a half ago. I don't think there's a better city in the world. I love how many strangers I sit next to and how every day is an adventure, whether it's culinary or the weather."
Olivia Wilde, NY Daily News

The Opposite of L.A.

Long Island City

“What I love about New York is that everyone is in their own world. It's the opposite of L.A. - there, everyone is looking outside of themselves to see who's next to them. What's great about New York is that you get to be anonymous.”
Jordana Brewster, NY Daily News
