‘Cause New York is the center of the world and all that.

Center of the world? Hell, they think they are the center of the universe.

As a buddy of mine put it, they were the only major city to fall to a foreign power near the start of the American Revolution and remain as such until the end. And so they have been ever since.

Fwiw, the bloodiest race riot in history took place in New York at the close of the Battle of Gettysburg and victorious Union troops had to march there to put it down. Only the lineup of the races at war and those victimized have changed with some interludes such as Chief of Police Teddy Roosevelt and Mayor Rudi Giuliani has there been some semblance of order.

World?

Universe!
