I'll Take Manhattan...the Bronx and Staten Island, too

"I've a cozy little flat
In what is known as old Manhattan.
We'll settle down
Right here in town"

I paid my way out on the 42nd Street.
I lit a cigarette an' stared down at my feet.
Imagined all the ones that ever stood here waitin',
At Grand Central Station.
                 ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter, "Grand Central Station" lyrics

Fantastic images, Thor!  All images carry intriguing stories even without quotes.
