"The magnificent facilities afforded by Kew station and the Pennsylvania tunnels bring this tract nearer, in point of time, to the center of activities in New York than any part of Manhattan north of Seventy second street. Thus a resident of Richmond Hill or Kew may reach the Manhattan Opera House or the Waldorf Astoria in twenty minutes, while it would take longer for a resident Fifth Avenue, facing Central Park to reach the same points or the shopping district."
