William E. Geist quotes:

Scrooge pushed past Mary number 1 and Joseph number 2 in the wings without so much as an 'excuse me'. Typical.

Drawn by warm nostalgic feelings for the place and by two sweet little words: 'Open Bar.'

New York is a city of conversations overheard, of people at the next restaurant table (micrometers away) checking your watch, of people reading the stories in your newspaper on the subway train

Pressed caviar has the consistency of chilled tar.

Grown men have been seen fleeing after reading the menu posted outside.

Kristin Brown looks as though she could have been mailed first-class to New York for about a dollar and a half.
