You can shoot a film in New York without seeing the Empire State Building. Or Starbucks... although the latter is much less realistic.

I see a New York that is once again the empire state.

The time has come to return integrity, performance and dignity to New York and make it the Empire State once again.

Going to the roof of the Empire State Building is pretty amazing for kids.

I'm the most independent and conservative Democrat in New York State.

When I first came to New York City, what I was thrilled about was not the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty; it was the fireplugs in the street. These things that Jack Kirby had drawn. Or these cylindrical water towers on top of buildings that Steve Ditko's 'Spider-Man' fights used to happen in and around.
