Alive Twenty Hours a Day

Zuccotti Park

"It is a true city where living, working, eating, shopping all take place on the same block. In other cities the commercial areas are dead after working hours. Not so New York. It lives twenty four hours a day."
Rhys Bowen, Jungle Red Writers

New York is a Movie

Number 1 subway train

"New York is a movie in itself. It’s enough to sit on the subway on the way to school to see that everyone around is a fully developed fictional character. Inspiration is everywhere, and what’s most fascinating is in every little detail."

Mina Sundwall, Grumpy Magazine

Piano in Washington Square Park

Stuart Palmer, The Riddles of Hildegarde Withers
