I wrote the first book, and I thought people would say: 'Separate and unequal schools in the City of Boston? I didn't know that. Let's go out and fix it.'
In any city or town, you can find a good, rocking Italian place. The most unhealthy thing on the menu? I'll have two of those!
In New York City we have the biggest police force in the country. We have 35,000 uniformed officers. We're able to mass officers in significant numbers if we had to.
A typical native New Yorker, I'm prone to wearing the city's unofficial sartorial color: black.
For me, New York has always been a city of unpredictability. You can never guess what's going to happen next.
When I lost my brother, it kind of messed me up because in my city, I know everybody. I kind of felt untouchable.
There may be problems we still need to tease out, but we will leave no stone unturned in our bid to make London the host city.
The most important thing is to find the balance between city and nature. I have that 'hippie quality' - my husband is a super-hippie Los Angeles boy - so we'll have to make time to go to Puerto Rico, and upstate New York, and be sure we get to do outdoorsy stuff like that.
Cops in New York City don't have the best reputation. It's a fast-paced city, and they deal with a lot, and many people have seen lots of cops interact with the public utilizing what can be gently called 'not the best customer service.'
I was originally going to join 'Mike & Mike' in New York City, but then that move fell through, and there was a vacancy on 'First Take,' so now I am excited to be able to do both.
Even the most radical Islamic terrorist would not want to see the revered holy city of Medina go up. It would be like losing the Vatican in Rome.
It simply feels right to me to blend the glittery delights of New York City with a largely raw vegan diet - with the soul-deep conviction that animals are not ours to eat, wear, exploit or experiment on.
You can plant a church and grow a church. That's not that hard to do, but it's harder to be a viable source of transformation in a city or your time or space.
Vienna is a city where they love sports.
The Potemkin city of which I wish to speak here is none other than our dear Vienna herself.
My parents were not born in Vienna, but they had spent much of their lives there, having each come to the city at the beginning of World War I when they were still very young.
If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; if you would know, and not be known, live in a city.
There's this character, Theo Galavan, who becomes the ringleader for the revolution of villainy in the city of Gotham. He becomes this mentor figure for Jerome that really inspires him to go off the deep end, and it's really fun.
We danced on the lip of the volcano, so to speak. We were young, too. And New York was still a big, open city where anything could happen and anyone could be star. Rents were cheap, creativity was encouraged, and bottle service was still 20 years away. That was the era the Club Kids came into.
When I moved to New York City from Texas at 22, amateur hour was over. As a newly grown-up person, I vowed I would wear dresses and skirts, wool trousers occasionally, and heels always.
