The Center of the Universe

James, a German immigrant, talks about why he loves New York City:

It is the center of the universe! It’s so… the variety of people, of languages, of customs, of traditions, of… you have access to so many things. It is a city, although so big, so organized. The subway system and all the planning of the roads and being done by somebody that was very smart. I don’t know if it has something to do with Robert Moses or one of those outstanding New Yorkers. The planning of the city, the way the streets and avenues are, it’s amazing how they planned that. They are now using tunnels that were built a hundred years ago. I think that was extremely clever.
