Going to the Dogs
Greenery and secluded streets make the neighborhood an urban pet's paradise. Not-so-subtle signs dot the area, keeping the many dog lovers in check and perhaps cooling the steam of a disgruntled minority. In a recent NY Times article, A Bill to Ease Restrictions on Living with Pets, animal-welfare advocate Mary Max noted: "there was one area of town, around Tudor City, where I did encounter some people who—let me just be blunt—if they had a machine gun, they would shoot any companion animal. The people were just: 'I don't want them around. They're dirty. I hate them.'"
