New York Ambiance

NYC

Homage to Samuel Barber's "Souvenirs".

From Wikipedia:
The plush age of Edith Wharton’s old New York is epitomized. Barber revelled
in the ambiance of the color and lifestyle of the disappearing luxury hotels
of Europe and America — particularly the Plaza. When he was in New York he
often went there for afternoon tea just to hear the continental trio perform
the sugary music of the turn of the century, music that embodied the aura of
an earlier America he loved.
