NEW YORK—Deliciously politically incorrect and based on his book “The Coloring Book,” Colin Quinn uses his new one-man show “Colin Quinn The New York Story” to answer the age-old question: Just what is it that makes New York City so special?

Think about it. The city is dirty; the transit system is not the best (neither above nor below ground); just about everything is overpriced, and good luck in trying to find a parking spot. It’s freezing in the winter, smells terrible in the summer, and just about everyone here has an attitude. Yet, New York is a tourist magnet for the entire world, and the majority of those lucky enough to live here wouldn’t dream of moving anywhere else.

As Quinn sees it, it's the city's pace, energy, and most of all, the people.
