Infectious Energy

Midtown Manhattan

"To those who say New York is not the same, my response is, ‘When has New York ever been the same?’ I’m still mourning the closing of Maxwell’s Plum. There’s this infectious energy in the city that’s unmatched."

Simone Levinson, quoted in Forbes Magazine

Number One

One World Trade Center

"Nearly everyone says New York is their number one city in the world, don’t they? It certainly is mine."

Greatest Place on Earth

Long Island City

"New York is the greatest place on Earth to live, love, eat, laugh, cry, heal, and yes, to kibitz. Those of you who have never experienced it or just go with the stereotypes that you've been fed, I feel for you. This is truly the greatest city in the world. I could probably write an encyclopedia on the many things I love about it, but if I have to explain it, you won't understand it."
Russell Andresen, Memoirs of a Jewish Vampire
