New York. Paul Morand. New York: Henry Holt, 1930. Illustrations and original dust jacket by Joaquin Vaquero Palacios. First edition stated. Morand disapproves of the upper class, the fashion, speakeasies and the area around Times Square. He is impressed by the City Hall and the buildings around Washington Square, which he regards as genuinely American and not false imitations of historical styles. He makes recurring references to the contemporary saying that “the Jews own New York, the Irish run it, and the Negroes enjoy it.” -- source link
