"To him,
no matter what the season was,
this was still a town
that existed in black and white

of George Gershwin. "
Uh... no. Let me start this over.
"Chapter one. "
"He was too romantic about Manhattan,
as he was about everything else. "
"He thrived on the hustle, bustle
of the crowds and the traffic. "

"Chapter one. He adored New York City. "
"To him, it was a metaphor
for the decay of contemporary culture. "

I love this.
"New York was his town
and it always would be. "
