New York is the first place I have ever felt safe.

I recently went to New York for the first time, and honey, I'm in love with that place. I'm obsessed with its sausages.

On my first trip to New York in the 1980s, the first place I wanted to visit was the Plaza Hotel, home to Kay Thompson's Eloise.

In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.

New York is a wonderful place to be up, an awful place to be down.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of exiles.
