"What's wrong with New York? Easy. We don't do anything anymore...We open restaurant after restaurant, bar after bar. We market and advertise things, but don't create them...We open hot clubs and neo-speakeasies. We're like Rome in its final days. Eating and entertainment. Eating and entertainment...Just distractions. Enhancements....God forbid there should be a shoe repair shop, or hardware store, or fish monger or anything other than a restaurant, bar and real estate brokerage." [Lost City]
