The New York Walk

Park Avenue

"Within a few days you will have adopted the New York walk. Rapidly, skillfully, you negotiate the jammed sidewalks at twice your home-town pace; triumphant as an athlete at the end of a well-played game, you conquer the congestion."
Michele Landsberg, This is New York, Honey!

Exceeds Expectations

"It is one of the few places I've gone to where it exceeded expectations. Everyone's expectation of New York is so big, and then you go, 'Oh, it really is like no other place on Earth!'"
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, The New York Post

Elbow-to-Elbow

"In New York, everyone is so mixed together that there's less of a feeling of class here. Outside some fancy office building, you see a CEO getting his cigarette lit by a cleaning lady. Everybody is dealing with the same shit, everybody is on the subway elbow-to-elbow."
Louis C.K., The Hollywood Reporter
