Fun Lies New Yorkers Tell Tourists

Personally I've never knowingly lied to tourists vising my city (although I've accidentally given wrong directions) - but Gothamist has come up with a list of lies New Yorkers might tell tourists. Here are some of my favorites:

§                  "That ‘I Heart New York’ shirt makes you look like one of us!"

§                  "Little Italyis full of authentic Italian stuff."

§                  "Don't forget to tip your subway train conductor."

§                  "You pronounce 'Houston' Street like the city in Texas."

§                  "It's no big deal to eat on the subway."

§                  "I live in Woody Allen's old apartment."

§                  "The only available cabs are the ones WITHOUT the lights on."

And here's my addition to the list of lies:

§                  "There are MANY Arby's restaurants located throughout city"
