everyone comes to New York with their head full of skyscraper pictures, most of which are taken straight on, or from impossibly romantic angles. You realize that the photos you saw were taken from someone else’s office, or penthouse, or suite, or balcony, and such views will never be yours except for a brief moment when you rent a plot in the air in a tall hotel. The moment you arrive you realize how much life is lived at ground level. That’s the way it is for everyone. You can visit the clouds, but it’s a rental.
