Pressure

Riverside Park South

"I have lived in New York long enough to feel a deep modification in the atmosphere, to feel the absurdity of the pressure the city exerts."
William Styron, Conversations with William Styron

Safe Deliveries

Delivery bikes in Kips Bay

"You're in New York City. Why go out and risk your life when everything's delivered?"
Elinor Lipman, The Family Man

New York Dogs

Signs at St. John the Divine

"New York was the only city I'd ever encountered that moved more than I did. Nothing sat still. Nothing rested. Not even the dogs were allowed to be lazy. Instead they were shuffled outside for "walks" by anxious owners wielding plastic bags, waiting impatiently for their precious pups to poop so they could move on to that meeting they always seemed to be late for."
Angie Day, The Way to Somewhere
