When you from New York - you're from New your god damn it !!

If you are not a New Yorker then send it to someone
who is!!


Hey! I'm walking here!!!



THERE IS NO NORTH AND south. IT'S "UPTOWN" OR
"DOWNTOWN." IF YOU'RE REALLY FROM NEW YORK YOU HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF WHERE NORTH AND SOUTH ARE....
AND EAST OR WEST IS "CROSS-TOWN."

YOU'RE 35 YEARS OLD AND DON'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE.


YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST
BECAUSE THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE.

YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON
THE PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EXIT STAIRWAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT A "REGULAR" COFFEE IS.

IT'S NOT MANHATTAN ; IT'S THE "CITY."

YOU CROSS THE STREET ANYWHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND
YOU YELL AT CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO
IT.

YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE
LOCAL LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM
BROOKLYN OR THE BRONX THE MINUTE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH.

YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOODS YOU WANT
ARE A "REAL" PIZZA AND A "REAL" BAGEL.

A 500 SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT IS LARGE.

YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALL THE DIFFERENT
RAY'S PIZZAS.

YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT ANY
HUMAN BEING WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND A
P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBWAY.

YOU WOULDN'T BOTHER ORDERING PIZZA IN ANY OTHER CITY.

YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST
CHOOSE FROM THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH ARE: CHINESE,
ITALIAN, ME XICAN OR INDIAN.

YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES
SQUARE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.

YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN
ALTERNATE SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS ARE
IN EFFECT.

YOU KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS.

SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU, AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET.


YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
HAVING A PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF.

YOU PAY "ONLY" $230 A MONTH TO PARK YOUR CAR.

YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST.
LIKE THE CITY IN TEXAS.

THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN
HONOR.

YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP.

THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU
BUY, EVEN IF IT'S A BEER.

THAT'S NEW YORK, BABY! YA GOTTA LOVE IT.

IF YOU ARE A TRUE NEW YORKER SEND THIS TO EVERYONE
LIKE YOURSELF.
