The Kids Are NOT Alright


A few years ago I witnessed this phenomenon firsthand. Paul McCartney (and Heather Mills - his wife at the time) were walking down 57th Street and passed me. The excited couple in front of me then tried to explain to their kids who Paul McCartney was. "He was a Beatle!", they kept saying - which obviously meant nothing to the unimpressed children.

For my part, it WAS pretty cool to see a living legend walking around the streets of NYC.

Powdered Sugar Instead of Booger Sugar


Limelight - the church-turned-notorious-nightclub-turned-urban-mall - will reportedly be getting a distinctly SUBurban tenant: IHOP. That sound you hear is a thousand aging Club Kids sobbing uncontrollably...

You can read my previous recollection of Limelight when it was a nightclub HERE.

Tourists Give Etiquette Tips To New Yorkers


In response to THIS.
  • Don't walk so fast! 
  • Don't roll your eyes at me when I pronounce "Houston" Street like the city in Texas.
  • Don't say I'm stupid for calling the subways by colors.
  • Don't tell me I'm dumb for eating at the Olive Garden—I love breadsticks!
  • Stop talking about how you live in the greatest city in the world. We get it.
  • Say thank you if someone holds the door open for you. Also, while we're on the subject, if you see me struggling with my bags and my coffee maybe wait the extra five seconds to hold the door open for me. I will even thank you for it!
  • Tell me where to buy counterfeit purses.

Etiquette Tips For NYC Tourists


From Gothamist:

  • Never ever ever EVER refer to the city as "the Big Apple." If you say this, you are a tourist, and a clueless one at that. Using the phrases "only in New York!" and "a New York minute" falls in the same category, but they may be used, sparingly, by long-time residents, with a heavy dose of irony.
  • Don't wear "I Heart NY" t-shirts, or indeed any article of clothing that mentions New York in any capacity, with the exception of gear supporting a sports team.
  • Don't ask people where you can find good "New York Pizza." In New York, it's just called pizza... do not say you prefer Chicago, New Haven or (God help you) California pizza. This is a direct route to a heated argument.
  • This one is absolutely vital—don't interfere with others' privacy. New York is a very crowded place. The way people deal with it is to create their own space. Thus, what outsiders often see as aloofness and isolation is, in fact, a sign of community; there is a shared ethos that everyone respects others' privacy and expects others to respect his own. This is chiefly communicated through eye contact. If you stare at someone on the subway; if you linger in looking out your window into someone else's bedroom; if you react to or interrupt a celebrity; or if you seem to be intentionally listening in to another's conversation, you are violating one of New York's most sacred unwritten rules. Keep yourself to yourself, buddy, and let others do the same.


Here's one from me: If you are on a crowded sidewalk - especially if you're in a group - please...
