Pure Adrenaline

Washington Square Park


"I was a typical tourist, staring up at the tall buildings, the yellow cabs, the incredible diversity of the people on the street. I wanted to explore every block, the art museums, discos, concert halls, restaurants, and stores. New York was pure adrenaline: big, bold, and loud."
Ivana Trump, Raising Trump

Worth Visiting

St. George Terminal


"Much of what makes New York so worth visiting is included in the price of the ticket. It costs nothing to look. Nowhere else on earth is there so much (some beautiful, more ugly, but all fascinating) to look at. There is beauty in the mountainous buildings of Manhattan, seen from a distance over the watereither from the nickel-a-ride Staten Island Ferry (known, and rightly, as the biggest travel bargain in the world), or from Brooklyn Heights against the tangerine sky of evening."

Crazy

Sixth Avenue

"New York is a crazy city and America is a madhouse. Americans are crazy and I find that I'm crazy too."
Ralph Barton, quoted in Things I Remember
