According to
Paul Knox (1995), the city offers an immense variety of opportunities. Look how he quotes
Fischer citing ‘the reaction of a ‘refugee’ New Yorker living in Vermont:
I kept hearing this tempting ad for a Czechoslovakian
restaurant… When the ad went on to say that this particular place had been
chosen by the critic of the Times
out of all the Czech restaurants in New York as the very best, I could have
broken down and cried. We hardly get a choice of doughnut stands in Vermont;
New Yorkers idly pick and choose among Czech restaurants.
This is how I
want to live. To be able to pick and choose among all the interesting things
the city has to offer.
By the way,
there are 2 Czech restaurants in Athens (I have been in both), 16 French, 15
Indian, 4 Spanish, 159 Italian, 41 Chinese, 5 African, and 25 Japanese-Sushi
restaurants (according to ask4food.gr).
Life in the
cities is quite stimulating, isn’t
it?
