“72 suburbs in search of a city”
This description of Los Angeles, often attributed to Parker, seems to instead be based on Aldous Huxley having referred to L.A. http://www.laobserved.com/intell/2013/08/misquoting_dorothy_parker.php as "nineteen suburbs in search of a metropolis" in his 1925 book Americana. In turn, he was likely quoting someone else.
Misattributed
“How odd
Of God
To choose
The Jews”
This is actually by William Norman Ewer (1885-1976) in Week-End Book (1924); This has sometimes been misattributed to Parker, who was herself of Jewish heritage, in the form:
How odd of God
To choose the Jews
Similar sayings have also been attributed to Ogden Nash (1902-1971)
'It wasn't odd;
the Jews chose God
Cecil Brown
But not so odd
As those who choose
A Jewish God,
But spurn the Jews
Leo Rosten
Not odd
Of God
The goyim
Annoy 'im.
