Delirium Tremens

First Avenue

"I loathe New York, Bertie. I wouldn't come near the place if I hadn't got to see editors occasionally. There's a blight on it. It's got moral delirium tremens. It's the limit."
P.G. Wodehouse, Enter Jeeves

Murders

Department of Correction bus

"There are several million inhabitants of New York. Not all of them eke out a precarious livelihood by murdering one another, but there is a definite section of the population which murders - not casually, on the spur of the moment, but on definitely commercial lines at so many dollars per murder."
P.G. Wodehouse, Psmith, Journalist

Small Place

"New York's a small place when it comes to the part of it that wakes up just as the rest is going to bed."
P.G. Wodehouse, My Man Jeeves

City of the Present

Madison Avenue

"One may despair in New York, but it is difficult to brood on the past; for New York is the City of the Present, the City of Things that are Going On."
P.G. Wodehouse, The Prince and Betty

Howl

Cooper Square

"New York is not like other cities. London greets the stranger with a sleepy grunt. Paris giggles. New York howls."
P.G. Wodehouse, The Prince and Betty

Egotist

Museum of the City of New York

"New York is an egotist. It will suffer no divided attention."
P.G. Wodehouse, The Prince and Betty

An Old Sweetheart

West Village

"New York is simply incredible. About five times larger than when I last saw it. I said in my radio talk that every time I came back to New York it was like meeting an old sweetheart and finding she had put on a lot of weight."
P.G. Wodehouse, P.G. Wodehouse: Portrait of a Master

Heaven

Riverisde Park South

"To say that New York came up to its advance billing would be the baldest of understatements. Being there was like being in heaven without going to all the bother and expense of dying."
P.G. Wodehouse, America, I Like You
