Travel writer Jan Morris reflects on Manhattan as an ever changing yet constant presence. She notes the island’s enclave feel, its rhythm, fashion, and enduring allure, recalling a 1979 NY visit and decades of returning journeys.
The author sketches Manhattan as a paradox of freedom and confinement, praising its fierce beauty and restless energy while noting neurosis and crowd fixation. He roams Sixth Avenue observing a clot of vivid, sometimes eerie faces, and contrasts local wit with provincial feeling after visiting Elaine’s.
Excerpted essay praising Manhattan as the ultimate cosmopolitan city and a lens on civilization. The author compares New York to Rome and Constantinople, celebrates Ninth Avenue’s May festival, and imagines doomsday scenes on Broadway and 42nd Street while affirming the city’s mature mellowness.
A brisk sketch of odd Manhattan scenes from a recent stay. A levitation group tale with a hopping practitioner. a New York Hilton delegate heading to a urology convention. a chatty police Plaza official about sick days. four women seeking St Patrick’s Cathedral entry for its centenary. and a bow dog bite incident with a casual owner remark.
