New York City is for sellouts

but let me tell you, good ethiopian food does not a great city make

i hav srsly never heard anyone rave abt beltran or rays

people do make fun of rays a lot tho

guys every new yorker i've spoken with will not shut up about a) something they read in the new yorker and did i read it or b) brett farve

i stopped reading the new yorker cause i was not shutting up abt it and annoying myself in the process to be totally honest

how about fuck carlos beltran

^lol Melky Cabrera fan

Certainly Manhattan sucks shit, even compared to just 10 years ago.

xp:
a) fuck that mag (i just trashed 'pro rate' subscrip card)
b) fuck football

i continue to the read the new yorker but i only hang out with people who dont read it so when i repeat things i read there they will think i am a genius

sweet deal bro *new york style fist pound*

fyi i am a new yorker writer

how's that 15,000 word essay on the history of yo-yo's coming along?

i read the new yorker cause i have a long commute and it is usually interesting. were i in any other city, i would probably drive and therefore never read and therefore be dumb.

hilarious que but its actually "yo-yos" with no apostrophe

snap!

wow you new yorkers sure showed me

i like how you claimed to stay calm when people diss dc and that nyers are all babies, but you seem to be the only one on this thread that is actually upset about something.

gas money^^

think i could win?

i am not really upset about anything, i could give two shits i am just having fun and lols

although i gotta say nyc is the septic tank of the usa

dc residents are so unserious and i hate them

I think NYC is kind of awesome to a fault. The sense of ambition and energy and limitlessness of options can be a bit overwhelming, and sometimes I want to live somewhere a bit more low key like Philadelphia (not to mention cheaper). You can't really say there's any *thing* NYC doesn't have, it's just that it has so much of everything.

cheap housing

nice friendly people who don't yell at you

lakes for swimming

actually que new yorkers were just rated the friendliest people in the universe in some new study

published in the new yorker

THEY ARE ALL FROM OHIO ANYWAY AMIRITE LOL!

let me guess the study was run by. . . new yorkers?????

ha ha as tho there are scientists in any other cities

srsly

Praying to god for the answer isn't a "study"

LAST TIME I CHECKED

Que's challenging NYC disses are so skewed and sideways that I don't even have a response to any of them! I dunno. It's, you know, a city. A particularly large and teeming and vigorous one. It is not, in the end, a fundamentally different sort of entity from other cities, including less-large and less-teeming ones that are cheaper and more relaxing. There are differences in character, certainly, but you talk about it long enough and just becomes ... whatever.

Besides, not to get all class-analytical here, but most of us talking here, and (I'm guessing) most of the types of people we associate with in cities, are all post-collegiate cosmopolitans who don't come from that city anyway, am I right? New York, L.A., Chicago, all populated by young people from the same suburban zones. Would things seem different if we discussed cities in terms of their true "native" types? I'm not sure I could decide between NYC's and Chicago's -- might lean toward Chicago's!

nabisco. . . i was just clowning around with everything i said on this thread. just some friday lol clowning, not serious, etc etc

see what happens when u insult nabiscos city

he posts multiple paragraphs in a calm and measured tone

NYC has an extremely wide range of "native types"

Also a lot of suburbanites are sons and daughters of native types -- particularly the ones from Jersey.

my dad was born in nyc

That's true: gabbneb, Casuistry, JBR...

Haha calm and measured because I didn't get them at all! Which I guess was the joke('s on me).

xpost yes, NYC probably has a few more than Chicago, just on the numbers. I just ... conversations about cities I'm in usually tend to be about what kind of lifestyle they provide to or draw out of post-collegiate non-native types (like me and lots of the people I talk to); they could sound really different, is what I'm saying.

Qualludes.

New York's soccerball team sold out to Red Bull

thats why the best way to determine which city is best is by seeing how awesome its sports teams are

xp to nabisco

is that was true then boston would be the best city and boston obv sux

i wish mpls had a soccerball team
