...This year, for the first time since the towers crumbled, New York City's economy outperformed the nation's. The average price for a Manhattan condo or co-op broke the $1 million mark, a new record. Norma's, a midtown restaurant, introduced a $1,000 omelet. (Hardly anyone ate it, but it hearkened back to the '90s in an oddly comforting way.) And the tourists returned, God bless them...

When the building is completed, it could be an inspiration to American architects. "Not only did America invent the skyscraper," says Calatrava...
...real urban center, where people not only party but meet, live and perhaps form the kind of community Vegas has never had - one in which people no longer change cell-phone numbers every six months to escape from debts and exes.
