10 Things Only
New Yorkers
Understand
By Maria Haymandou
1 Even though
over 3 million
people visit the
Statue of Liberty
every year, most
New Yorkers
have never gone
there, and have
no intention to.
The same goes for Times Square
You might not think hot dogs and papaya juice
going together, but New Yorkers know better.2
New Yorkers will gladly pay over $100 a month for a
gym membership that they only take advantage of
twice a week, yet nonetheless complain about living in
a 鍖fth-鍖oor walkup and climbing the stairs every day.
3
Youll cross the road
wherever you want,
even if there isnt a
crosswalk nearby.!
4
Its considered completely normal to discuss
how much you pay a month in rent.5
Even though its the largest city in the
country, New York is small enough in size
that celebrity sightings are fairly common.
6
Even though New York is one of the few
cities with a 24/7 mass transit schedule, we
love to complain about how bad it is.
7
The G train in particular
Even if subways come every few minutes, were
always rushing to catch the train. Nothing feels
worse than walking down onto the subway
platform right as the train is pulling away.
8
You can 鍖nd good pizza outside
of the city, but nothing will ever
beat the New York bagel.9
Watching movies or TV shows set in New York will never be
the same again. Youll either spend the whole time seeing if
you can recognize any of the streets or landmarks, or youll
be complaining that it isnt New York enough.
