Electric Connections

Lexington Avenue

"New York is a city of almost electric connections. People move and think faster there than any other place in North America, perhaps the world."

Marlene Christian, Angel of the Tsar

Parking Money

"It's kind of an interesting thought that New York is now the safety place where people park money for when it all falls apart. What do they think it's going to do here in New York? Not fall apart?"
Colin Quinn, Irish Central

Fight

Battery Maritime Building

"Every man Jack when he first sets foot on the stones of Manhattan has got to fight. He has got to fight at once until either he or his adversary wins. There is no resting between rounds, for there are no rounds. It is slugging from the first. It is a fight to a finish. Your opponent is the City. You must do battle with it from the time the ferry-boat lands you on the island until either it is yours or it has conquered you."
O. Henry, The Complete Works of O. Henry
