I heard a quote once (was it by Quentin Crisp?) that is spot on: “When an Englishman says ‘America,’ he means ‘New York.’ And when he says, ‘New York,’ he means ‘Manhattan.’ ”
Here’s another favorite quote: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life” — Samuel Johnson. I’m not tired of London. I’m privileged to live between the two greatest cities in the world. I like them for similar reasons, too. History. Architecture. Resilience. Change. Diversity. Tension. Art. Opportunity. The big difference, I guess, is that New York is always turned up to 11: London with a surge of power on the galactic grid. Vibrant. Exciting. And it never runs out. “When a man is tired of New York, he should go to London to get some sleep.”
