Working Town

"New York is such a working town; it gives you so much energy. It makes you want to get up in the morning and get something done."
Noor Fares, The Wall Street Journal

Artistic Element

"The artistic element of Manhattan has kind of moved to Brooklyn. Has it changed it? Yeah. Has it ruined ruined it? I would say no. It is what it is. I say better that than an urban war zone."
Julian Casablancas, The Wall Street Journal

Energetic

Sixth Avenue

"New York is a rather energetic city, so there's immediately that hum that's under everything you do that really energizes."
Nancy Allen, Wall Street Journal

Missing Out

Third Avenue

"New York is a place that has a talent for provoking the suspicion that, no matter how hard you work or play, you're still missing out on something. Someone you know is doing better or having more fun than you are."
Ralph Gardner Jr., The Wall Street Journal

Snowy New York

Central Park (Pixabay)

"In the snow, New York City becomes a fantasy version of itself. A blanket of winter weather slows this frantic city down, hushes the hurly-burly, covers it in a quiet beauty that turns a mundane walk into a romantic stroll. Snowy New York is the New York you dreamed of: old-fashioned, elegant, irresistible."
Jason Gay, The Wall Street Journal

Sensory Explosion

East 42nd

"New York is such a sensory explosion, visually, mentally. It's so much to absorb. So many different people, so many different walks of life."

Trevor Noah, The Wall Street Journal

Madcave

"New York City can really drive you bonkers—I say that as somebody who lives in this madcave and loves it. New York always sees itself as the most important place in the solar system, even when it’s not. We have no humility, no chill, no sense of proportion about ourselves, and our 4 p.m. traffic will make you weep. Also two bedroom apartments here cost more than small tropical islands."
Jason Gay, The Wall Street Journal

New York Type of Gal

"I'm a New York type of gal. I may sound like an out-of-towner to New Yorkers, but my brain and mouth have always worked at roughly the same speed, so I fit right in."
Kristin Chenoweth, The Wall Street Journal
