As for my identity within the context of New York nightlife? I left in the '90s, so I'm not part of the scene anymore. I'll always be interested in what's happening downtown, and I try and keep up with the changing faces on social media.

I don't want to unduly downplay money, but New York is also the media capital. That matters. You can get a degree of media attention at the Monday Meeting that you can't get anywhere else.

Social media... it's the future for the new generation.

We are continuously challenged to discover new works of culture—and, in the process, we don’t allow any one of them to assume a weight in our minds.

Up in the heights of the evening skies I see my City of Cities float In sunset's golden and crimson dyes: I look and a great joy clutches my throat! Plateau of roofs by canyons crossed: windows by thousands fire-furled-- O gazing, how the heart is lost in the Deepest City in the World.

There aren't any liberals left in New York. They've all been mugged by now.
