Lower Manhattan Quotes By Malcolm Gladwell

Louis and Regina found a tiny apartment on Eldridge Street, on Manhattan's Lower East Side, for $8 a month. Louis then took to the streets, looking for work.

He went — Malcolm Gladwell

Lower Manhattan Quotes By Adriana Trigiani

There were all manners of souvenirs and trinkets for sale when Ciro and Luigi disembarked from the ferry into the port of lower Manhattan.

Oh Godm it really was true, wasn't it? I really was a secretary. — Julie Powell
