I still think the best classic meal in New York is a coffee-shop breakfast - you sort of can't skip it.

The coffee shop is a great New York institution, but it has terrible coffee. And the more traditional coffee shops are trying to catch up with more sophisticated coffee drinkers.

When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.

The trains were the beating heart of the New York graffiti scene.

The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.

New York is my home.
