“Part of why I love New York so deeply is exactly this elusiveness. This refusal to be caught is what allows it to carry such fantasy, mystery and myth, yet also be home. It is simultaneously no one's city and everyone's city.”
― Becky Cooper, Mapping Manhattan: A Love (and Sometimes Hate) Story in Maps by 75 New Yorkers

“(Regarding the Roosevelt Tram along Queensboro Bridge):

"They had it renovated by the French. French cars. French cables. Cables that surrender! Would you ride in a tram that surrenders? I sure as hell wouldn't!”
― Camilla Monk, Beating Ruby

“So many lights you’d think we were living in a constellation”
― Jodi Lynn Anderson, Midnight at the Electric

“New York, of course, is to be in endless surreal situations where a fifty-thousand dollar, gun-metal Mercedez pulls up into a puddle of blood, and out steps a twenty-five karat blonde transvestite with a two dollar wristwatch.”
― Tom Waits
