A city of Adjectives
Pete:” New York can be called a City of Adjectives . Do you know why?"
Dave:” I really don't know, but I suppose it's because in New York many World Records were broken"

Dave:"Yeah I know it! But after even higher buildings were built, like the Twin Towers in the World Trade
Center 420 meter high, that doesn't exist anymore. What else can you tell me about New York ?".

Dave: Yes I do. In New York there's always someone or something that is richer, higher, faster,
more beautiful or more dangerous than in any other place in the world."
