Erik, your house is surrounded by formidable queens? What did you do to them,
steal all of the size-12 high heels in the city? ;)
If I may indulge an Anglophile moment, only Westminster is usually referred to as
"The City"--I'm not exactly sure why, but it dates from the 17th century. However,
if you do get it in mind to come visit the City, I'll be staying near there when
I'm in Britain, so we can have tea. (Just to keep the motif stable.)

True! And, fortunately, NYC is very public-transit accessible.

You'd be amazed at how fast you reach Mach when you're headed straight down. :(
Besides, I don't have $9,000 for a ticket, and they've grounded the Concordes
indefinitely. (Not that rectifying any of those would make it possible, mind you.)
