It comes from an obituary of former Noo Yawk Mayor, Ed Koch, who died today at the age of 88:
At age 83, Koch paid $20,000 for a burial plot at Trinity Church
Cemetery, at the time the only graveyard in Manhattan that still had
space.“I don’t want to leave Manhattan, even when I’m gone,” Koch
told The Associated Press. “This is my home. The thought of having to
go to New Jersey was so distressing to me.”
An old high school friend of mine, who is a hardcore New Yorker, said on her Facebook page: “RIP, maybe not to the best mayor the city ever had, but to a quintessential New Yorker.”
Yeah, you right, Emily.
