Rembrandt, Degas and the Temple of Dendur are at the Met this week, and will be next week--waiting for you.  Picasso and Matisse and Warhol are waiting at the Modern.  New York is a storehouse of treasures--held in trust for the rest of the nation.*

It's a city that moves to many rhythms: the early morning jogger along the river, the ancient carriage clop-clopping through the Park, the jets crisscrossing the sky above.  You can move as fast or as slow as you want in New York--and always feel the exhilaration of the city moving along with you.

It's a city that calls for special skills: like those of Thomasine Jackson who makes flowers grow in a window box in the Bronx, or our own favorite, George Roumeliotis, who passes out hot dogs faster than the eye can follow on the corner of the block where our present corporate headquarters are located.

New York, like most cities, has its problems.  But the rhythms of the city, and the skills of the city, are invigorating and irreplaceable.  That's why, now that we need a bigger corporate headquarters, we've decided to build it here.  Like all New Yorkers, we know New York is more than just "a great place to visit."  It's a great place to live in--and grow in.
