You know you're a New Yorker when..
Hittade detta på en blogg, ska se om det funkar för mig nu efter ett år i NYC!
• You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan. - Yup.
• You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. - Faktiskt inte, bara varit nära nog!
• Hookers and the homeless are invisible. - Man går bara rakt förbi. Nog för att jag inte stöter på så många horor.
• The subway makes sense. - Nu ja! London's t-bana är mer svårförstådd nu!

• You go to dinner at 9 and head out to the clubs when most Americans are heading to bed. - Kanske..?
• Your closet is filled with black clothes. - Jaadå, men det har inte så mycket med NYC att göra.
• You pay $5 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28 cents. - $5 är ett kap för en öl!
• You take fashion seriously. - HAHAHAHA! Nä. Men Project Runway ftw.
• Being truly alone makes you nervous. - Lite läskigt är det väl att gå runt när det inte är nå folk runt en!

You're willing to take in strange people as roommates simply to help pay the rent.
There is no North and South. It's uptown or downtown. There is no East or West. Its cross town!
You cross the street anywhere but on the corners and you yell at cars for not respecting your right to do it.
You dont even notice the lady walking the down the street having a perfectly normal conversation with herself.
When you're away from home, you miss "real" pizza and "real" bagels.
You can nap on the subway and never miss your stop!
You know the differences between all the different Gino's Pizzas.
You're not in 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.
You know how to fold the New York Times in half, vertically, so that you can read it on the subway or bus without knocking off other passenger's hats.
Someone bumps into you, and you check for your wallet.....
You cringe at hearing people pronounce Houston St. like the city in Texas
Film crews on your block annoy you, not excite you.
You take the train home and you know exactly where on the platform the doors will open in front of the exit stairway.
