If you erased New York, I hate to say it, if you erased Frankfurt, even London, the world would not have changed.
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.
I'd excluded New York from my writing, and then I came back and I fell in love with it all over again. The energy comes from an absence, that yearning for New York when you are not there.
The fact that New York continues in the face of all of the chaos, of the crime, of the madness, you just think that it would just pop and vanish, just explode.
New York City has no need to move on from 9/11 because, in a sense, it moved on days after, moments after.
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.
I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.
After Sept. 11, New York wasn't the same, and that's part of the reason why I left.
I think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change.
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.
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.
