MARISKA HARGITAY, actress:
“We’re walkers now. I didn’t
walk, because I was from
California, and [my husband]
makes us walk everywhere, or
take the subway everywhere,
and that has been so fun. This
city is unlike anything else in
the world.”
DANIEL BOULUD,
chef: “I loved New
York the very minute I
arrived and I have not
stopped loving it.”
WILL SHORTZ, crossword
puzzle creator: “
Pleasantville, New York, is a real place.
It’s a walking village and that
appealed to me.”
BILLY CRYSTAL, actor: “The
Mohawk Valley of New York is
one of the most beautiful places
you’ve ever seen when the
leaves change—it’s like God’s
got this watercolor brush.”
CHRIS ROCK, comedian: “New York is just a funny place, whereas L. A. is not funny. Everybody wants to be in showbiz in L. A. even surgeons, so everything revolves around showbiz. But in New York you can go to a good party given by a corrections o;cer.”
“The Bryant
Park scene is a
combination of my
two favorite things:
fashion and New
York.”
