Keeping New York Simple.

I filled an idle moment today reading up on Midtown Manhattan. Don’t ask me why, I suppose it just intrigued (and Zoe mentioned it once – a long, long time ago.)

I’m none the wiser. It was all West this Street, and East that Street, and Business Districts, and Bloomingdales, and ‘most of the skyscrapers,’ and ‘this is the view from somewhere-in-New-Jersey…’

We don’t have that sort of thing in London. London is simple. The East End is the rough bit + yuppies, the West End is the decadent bit, and the City is where they push the illusion of money around.

I concluded that Midtown Manhattan is the bit in the middle of Manhattan. I’m nothing if not rational.
