Did you know? Since records began in 1863, New York City has had the highest concentration of vampires in the world. This has long been attributed to the “insomnia” of the city’s private sector, but growing evidence suggests that a variety of factors-- including architecture, climate, and rapid population growth-- have made New York the hot spot it remains to this day.

“How obscene,” one might say, observing the pale day-trader as he dances through the cool shadows of our titanic skyline. I might agree with you, had I not the presence to see myself as I am-- sun-kissed-- and yet prone to basking in the headlights of a passing taxicab at night.  -anonymous, 1927

On the whole, it was worth the trip. The plains really were broad and grain-gold, if scarred with fences and agricultural crawlers. The mountains were overwhelming. And however much of the capital city is crusted with squat brick and faceless concrete hulks, there are still flashes of its historic charm. You've seen spires above the streets -- tiny green parks below tenements -- hidden jewels of fountains beyond walls. Any bland alley can conceal balconies wrought into iron gardens, fiery mosaics, a tree or bed of flowers nurtured by who knows who. This alley, however, is a total washout. It ends in flat bare dirty brick, and you've found nothing but a door which lacks even the courtesy of a handle. Maybe you should call it a day.
