Well the thing is that the New York of 1846 to 1862 was very different from downtown New York now. Really nothing from that period still exists in New York.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Too many people take New York for granted. The primary reason is that history is not taught. That's outrageous in a city where the past is still visible.
But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.
What I'll remember about New York is growing up really fast.
New York was no mere city. It was instead an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and perishable dream itself.
I think New York has evolved in my work just the way the city has.
Neighborhoods change. In some ways, it's part of the beauty of New York City. It's in a constant state of flux.
Those who remember New York in the 1970s, as I do, look back on a city that had hit a very rough patch - decaying, bankrupt, and crime-ridden. But fun.
The culture of New York is just impossible to replicate. It's such an incredible feeling to be walking on the streets of New York. You can literally find everything you need in a five block radius oftentimes.
New York is still where I live most of the time.
There's no one New York. There's multiple New Yorks.
