I get into a fight with a bus driver because I am not allowed to bring my bike onto a nearly empty bus at night time from brooklyn to Staten Island where I would only stay on the bus for two stops, ensuring I would not block anybody. Yet another time a guy was allowed to bring in a heavy door into a crowded bus. Saw a dude also bring in a giant gently caress off bird cage which naturally was occupied with birds onto the bus, blocking off the aisle.

Actually a lot of Hispanics are fleeing to South Florida (West Palm Beach to Miami). Florida may have its problems but it's loving Valhalla compared to the Bronx

It was more disappointing (and surprising) when I found that even most of Manhattan isn't like Times Square.

*vigorously defends laws that limit the supply of housing in order to make sure that all buildings in any given neighborhood never look different, since that would destroy the history that isn't theirs and that they will never partake in*

New York’s subway system is the most visible and fabled element of the city’s underground. Once famous for graffiti, subway trains today are kept nearly paint free. Yet guerilla creativity has found a new outlet: “scratchiti,” or phrases carved into train windows.

THE HOMELESS
At one time the city had over 5,000 people living in train and subway tunnels. With assistance from HUD, some of the underground homeless have since moved into apartments. Contrary to legend, there are no large organized communities underground, but transit workers find evidence of elaborate homesteading all over the city.

SENSE AND SECURITY
Every New York rider has heard of, witnessed, or endured subway crime. Yet subway crime has dropped dramatically. Even so, savvy riders avoid making eye contact, steer clear of altercations, and never ride in an empty car.

I thought it was "puh", but then again how would I know because *real new yorkers* don't eat that poo poo. Or Korean, or Thai, or whatever other ethnic crap arriviste hipsters think is so amazingly representative of being a "real new yorker". We go to Burger Heaven or Viand or any old Greek diner and just get a loving burger. Maybe, if you're over 60, a BLT or salad. And maybe, if you're over 70, a tongue and egg salad on rye because that's how you did it back in the day when you tied an onion to your belt.
