"The traditional pedestrian's right of way is, as Shakespeare says, 'more honored in the breach than the observance.' New Yorkers pay no attention whatsoever to WALK-DON'T WALK signs (it is just a part of that New York state of mind that asks: Why trust a sign? I have eyes!)"

"Broadway, New York, is a man's street, primarily, just as Fifth Avenue is a woman's. Men and women create these streets; the merchants follow the men and women."
George J. Whelan, American Magazine
"The kids are getting down up in the Bronx tonight
Times Square is lit up like it's broad daylight
They're kickin' out the jams down in ol' Bay Ridge
The joint is really jumpin' on the Brooklyn Bridge
All the hippies boppin' down on Avenue A
Put your red dress on, baby, we're on our way."
Curtis Stigers, New York Is Rockin'
