You Know You’re From New York When…

October 3, 2006

You say “the city” and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan.

You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.

You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle
to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but cannot find
Wisconsin on a map.

Hookers and the homeless are invisible.

The subway makes sense.

You believe that being able to swear at people in their own
language makes you multi-lingual.

You’ve considered stabbing someone just for saying “The Big Apple.”

The most frequently used part of your car is the horn.

You call an 8′ x 10′ plot of patchy grass a yard.

You consider Westchester “upstate.”
