We identify New York with the great bridges and tunnels and roadways and subway system and so forth.

Any urbanist has to appreciate New York City and the way it works. The public transit is astonishing.

It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

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.

I moved from a mountain with one traffic light to New York City when I was 17, and it was an amazing, eye opening, creative adventure. I would walk through the streets of Manhattan looking up at these huge buildings, amazed that I didn't know a single person in any of them.

I remember perfectly my first trip to New York, when I was on the bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan, when I saw the skyscrapers. It was like an incredible dream.

I loved experiencing city life in New York.

My favorite thing about New York is the view, the skyline.

Before I came to New York, I only had a few pictures of the city in my mind. And you know 'That Girl?' Marlo Thomas jumping with her hat? I always loved that, and I wondered what that double street she crosses is. And it's Park Avenue! And that's what I can see out my window.

The subway in New York is a great social experiment; there are so many races and ways of life sitting together on each car.
