Blogging from NY, NY - on the road
Do you heart NY - really heart it?Some field observations of New Yorkers:
- New Yorkers never wear short trousers - only tourists wear them.
- The only New Yorkers who will look you in the eye are cops and hookers. Otherwise - no.
- Bagels are better in New York than anywhere else. The same goes for pizza. Nobody really knows why but everyone has a theory.
- New York Police Officers wear hats that look like bus driver hats. They are sensitive when you point this out.
- New Yorkers never walk around the streets with a drink in their hands. The only place you can get away with that and look perfectly natural is New Orleans and Key West.
- There are a lot of Orthodox Jews in New York - I mean a lot. If they all voted Republican, Hillary Clinton (the lady from Arkansas) wouldn't have been made a Senator from NY. Which tells me that either they don't vote or somebody needs to do some organizing.
- New Yorkers are very sensitive about 9/11. They all have pictures of dead friends from that day.
- At least 50% of NY cab drivers wear turbans.
- A friendly New Yorker (to a tourist) is a New Yorker trying to work you for money.

In New Orleans the Powers That Be prefer (It's a law) drinkers use paper or plastic containers, not glass, from which to sip the beverage of their choice. Not allowing people to drink on the street is barbaric.
Funny list. Makes sense in the big city.
NY . . . The place is simply filled with Yankees.
I now have a new appreciation for my city! Thanks for sharing your list LL, only 20% of our cabbies wear turbans, no alcohol on the streets is tolerated (good thing, people here are nuts enough), and people actually do smile at you and don't want a thing! I love Edmonton, for tonight anyways!
