...neighborhoods almost cloned from the originals: Chinatown, just below Manhattan's Lower East Side, with its more than 200 often excellent coffee shops and restaurants, its shops selling salted fish, smoked duck and preserved eggs. Or Little Italy, next door, where one can sit at a side walk café with a cappuccino and time-warp 50 years back to some Neapolitan atmosphere. Ninth Avenue from 38th to 53rd streets is a rapid collage of Italian, Greek, Philippine and African shops and stalls. Yorkville around 86th Street and Third Avenue is somewhat homogenized now, but abounds with German gourmet...
...balmy summer evening, the plaza at Manhattan's Lincoln Center is as cheery a spot as Venice's Piazza San Marco without the pigeons or quite the grandeur.

Kraft wrote his first play at 33, later collaborated with Theodore Dreiser on the screenplay for An American Tragedy and became a journeyman playwright of comedies and musicals, among them Café Crown and Top Banana, a caustic, dizzy homage to comedy that Phil Silvers made into...
Since then, the café society portraits which now provide Warhol's bread and butter do not pretend to be anything else. To see Warhol entering a drawing room, pale eyes blinking in that pocked bun of a face, surrounded by his Praetorian Guard of chittering ingenues, is to realize that things do turn out well after all. The right level has been found. New York-not to speak of Rome, Lugano, Paris, Tehran and SkorpiÓs-needed a society portraitist. The empty angel of the '60s has effortlessly become the Boldini...
