They came. They saw. They walked. They toured. They ate. They rode subways. They took pictures. Lots of pictures. They...liked New York City? We hope so! =)
We had a great time with family...see for yourself!***
As we drew near New York I was at first amused, and then somewhat staggered, by the cautious and grisly tales that went around. You would have thought we were to land upon a cannibal island. You must speak to no one in the streets, as they would not leave 'til you were rooked and beaten. You must enter a hotel lobby with military precautions; for the least you had to apprehend was to awake the next morning without money and baggage, or necessary raiment, a lone forked radish in a bed; and if the worst befell, you would instantly and mysteriously disappear from the ranks of mankind.
-Robert Lewis Stevenson
New York is the biggest collection of villages in the world. -Alistair Cooke
The thing that impressed me then as now about New York . . . was the sharp, and at the same time immense, contrast it showed between the dull and the shrewd, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the wise and the ignorant . . . the strong, or those who ultimately dominated, were so very strong, and the weak so very, very weak-- and so very, very many. -Theodore Dreiser
New York is a different country. Maybe it ought to have a separate government. Everybody thinks differently, acts differently --they just don't know what the hell the rest of the United States is.
-Henry Ford
You come to New York to find the ambiance that will evoke your best. You do not necessarily know precisely what that might be, but you come to New York to discover it. -Dr. James Hillman
Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real and I myself am not a dream. -Helen Keller
A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe, and fifty times: It is a beautiful catastrophe. -Le Corbusier
Not only is New York the nation's melting pot, it is also the casserole, the chafing dish and the charcoal grill -Mayor John V. Lindsay
The thing I can't tell is whether cab drivers yield to each other out of fear or respect. -New York Policeman
