Favorite quotes from this talk See all
It's hard to talk about heritage without talking about culture.
I'm late because of New York's cultural exchanges.
Heritage is what is passed on to us. It's the land, the buildings—but it's also who you are. Your ethnicity, music, dance, traditions.
New York is a city where you see so many different variations of yourself.
We started Street Etiquette because we felt that we had something to give back to the world.
