The streets, the stoops and the clubs are New York's. The records belong to the people who made them. The people are ours: everybody has an eye flower for a head, and every wall is hung with real census New Yorkers from the block the room stands on. Every room plays its own song, written note by note in your browser, and every room hides a trick. A sample:
