Quick Change

"Everything is always changing so quickly in New York City; if you go away for even a week you realize it: the Greek restaurant becomes an Ethiopian restaurant. The bakery has been transformed into yet another nail salon."

Strange Summer

Park Avenue South during Summer Streets

"New York is strange in the summer. Life goes on as usual but it's not, it's like everyone is just pretending, as if everyone has been cast as the star in a movie about their life, so they're one step removed from it."
Peter Cameron, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You
