Description
Fifth Avenue, six in the evening, and the rain has just started. Every umbrella in Midtown seems to rise at once, every arm shoots into the air, and a river of yellow cabs streams past the Plaza without stopping. Then, miraculously, one pulls over. Danielle tumbles into the back seat, laughing, shopping bags everywhere, and gives the driver an address in the Village as the windshield wipers begin to thump.
Modelled on a New York City yellow taxi, bright yellow with a checkered pattern, this compact piece captures the energy of the city that never sleeps. Native New Yorkers living far from home will love it, and so will a couple who just honeymooned in Manhattan or a theatre lover who books a Broadway trip every spring. Its compact size makes it perfect for a shelf or desk, perhaps beside a snow globe of the skyline, a framed subway map or a stack of playbills. Give it to a graduate starting a first job in the city, and it becomes a little talisman for big dreams and late nights.
