Sign of a New Yorker

Morningside Heights

"I'd say I'm a New Yorker now—I know that because I've never used my stove."
Jahleel Weaver, Vice 

New York Houses Everyone

Long Island City

"New York houses everyone from all parts of the world and therefore belongs to everyone and no one. Right now I feel like I belong to it. And that makes me feel like the luckiest person of all."
Susie Moore, The Courier-Mail

Real American Dream

Park Avenue

"I love New York and I live in New York because, for the most part, this is not just a city where people randomly end up. This is a city where many people have chosen to live. We choose to live amongst each other even though we are all so different. We choose the dirt and the grime and the expense and the inconvenience because we know that New York is the real American Dream."
Andrea Skowronek, Gothamist
