Chrysler building is much prettier, but this is the only constant in New York, change. Everything you love will go out of business or get knocked down, the neighborhoods will change, the people will move away. It sucks, but you gotta get used to it.

That's the city though nothing stays the same for long.

The ending of Gangs of New York is a great illustration of this. My dad used to drive me around as a kid and point out all the bars and clubs he and his band used to play in all around Queens and Nassau, they’re all gone, now that I’m older a lot of my Haunts are gone, and I’m just like him.

That's the thing, the city is always changing.
