New York's Liveliness

Grand Central Terminal

"Sure, New York’s all-the-time energy is a cliché, so is the whole melting pot thing, but they’re the kind of clichés that exist because they’re true. Do other cities have a lot going on? Yes! Do we care? No. As far as we’re concerned New York’s liveliness is second to none, and bragging about it is our compensation for tiny bathrooms."

No One is an Outsider

"Every New Yorker interacts with a brilliant array of cultures and unique kinds of people. No matter how homogenous some may try to make their particular enclave, the diversity of the city permeates every pore. There's no private property on the sidewalks and streets. And when everyone you pass is a stranger, no one is an outsider."

Humanity on a Massive Scale

"New York is humanity on a massive scale, and its loudest critics are usually those who can’t find in themselves the humanity it takes to live here."

Permanent Ups and Downs

"New York goes through a lot. It’s a place of permanent ups and downs. It’s always in flux, and it’s never quite how it’s described. One block can feel completely different from the next. The city’s intensity doesn’t come from consistency. It comes from the clash of crowds and cultures."
