5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 21:04, 2 August 2020 (UTC).
Length is more than adequate, and references are superb. Pictures are correctly used. Article has been created within date and is neutrally written. I've revised the wording of the hook to make it snappier. Another incredible NYC article by Epicgenius, thank you. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:44, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
