Endures Quote by Historica Press
““New York endures despite its complexity because of its people. New York endures because New Yorkers have always been people who met challenges with a certain bravado, sometimes sarcasm and a sense of great humor, but also an Irish wake philosophy that we must laugh in the face of challenge. It has always endured.””
