The City of New York is the most populous city in the US, one of the preeminent global economic centers having worldwide influence, but most important: The Graffiti-Mekka. |
The city comprises five boroughs, each of which is coterminous with a county: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
NYC still is a tuff place for Graffiti, pretty well illustrated by the mad propaganda NY-authorities run against Ket.
Eventhough Graffiti is a part of the NY soul, the restrictive attitude of the city towards Graffiti makes it hard to realise Meetings.
After it all looked bad for the 008edition, luckily 5Points in decided to help and to give space. Different hood, but all good.
| Everybody who has been to New York knows the factory which comes right after the first stop when you left the tunnel from manhattan on the 7train. |  |
 |
Beside of NY-artists as Break, Meres, Part, Cern and others, Bad and more artists came from Puerto Rico, Florida, Germany, Italy, Spain and Mexico. |
| The Meeting came through in a nice and relaxed atmosphere covered by the sounds of the 7train passing by. As wallspace was tight you needed to be notified to paint. In any way: everybody respected the hood! |  |
The Subway is notable for being among the few rapid transit systems in the world to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
 |
Among the ten busiest systems in the world in terms of annual passenger traffic, it is the only one to hold such a distinction, setting it apart from cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo, and Moscow. |
| In all those years of the NYC-MOS it has never been easy to get it going. As the city has been tagged and bombed hard for decades „zero tolerance” and „broken windows” has been created. Graffiti was intensively | |
 |
targeted, and the system was cleaned line by line and car by car from 1984 until 1990. Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani also adopted the strategy |
| more widely in New York City, from his election in 1993, under the rubrics of ‘zero tolerance’ and ‘quality of life’. |  |
