In White's text from the New Yorker, he makes poignant insights about the life of a New Yorker, taking key note on every day occurences about the life style that comes with dwelling in Manhattan. There is no methodical ballet of movement and the occupence of space that occurs in Michael de Certau's "Walking in the City", people act and function in order to live. By "creating space", Certau implies that the New York indivual is significant enough to find room to fit in order to get from Point A to Point B. White on the other hand speaks of the realities that people have to endure and put up with it and the coping mechanisms that come with living in a cosmopolitan city such as escapng to Bryant Park for a resource of nature. It comes with the terrority of living in a big city, the adjustments and sacrafices of personal space.One does not "make space" or find a way to eb your own, you become completetly emeshed and wrapped up in the New York life. You become part of the space, not by dodging people r walking in an eratic function, just by finding the beauty and simplicites of the city. All of White's texts give substance and another perspective on the life lived as a New Yorker.
