The city of dreams. Stereotypes are parcially true, yet not fully.
Not ALL New York City residents are douchebags.

The only douchebags there, are the ones in the business district 'cause they have to pay their rent. It's a job. Give them a break.
We do all drink coffee, We don't always enjoy the tourists.
And yeah, we do have pride in our city, well, don't you? We love where we live, and isn't that enough?

You like to talk about where YOU live right? Well we just happen to bring it up in almost every conversation about it.
If you know a TRUE new yorker, you'll know we're blunt, sometimes mean, but often extremely sweet, welcoming, and friendly. We keep to ourselves, and like to get things done, which means no 2-hour conversations at the grocery store while getting milk.

And for everyone who thinks Broadway, and theatre is gay, and the people are fake? They are the realest and most amazing people you will meet.
9/11 was a terrible day for America. People who are truly affected from the attack, and bring it up at the right time? GIVE THEM A BREAK. The people who DON'T live here usually bitch a moan about it like it's their job, so don't assume them to ACTUALLY LIVE HERE- People DON'T like to talk about it...
This place is amazing for those who love it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Just don't knock it till you've actually been here, and stop calling us assholes, cause you guys are seriously disturbed.
New York City Pizza and bagels are THE best. They suck everywhere else, get over it.
sorry boston.

The biggest, most beautiful city on Earth. The heart and soul of the United States. 24 hours of pure, nonstop energy from Harlem to Battery Park.

A city with REAL gangsters (Russian, Italian, Chinese etc) Mafias. Not as many stupid shitskin punks shooting each other over who is wearing blue or red.

A city so intellectually stimulating and exciting that it can incite even negoroes into creative writing such as early raps. But that has now degenerated like everything else by (non New York) negroes, into assanine pussy punk pigtail talk like Snoopy Dogg.
This 15 year old tourist went into this bar and New York, and probably could have got served. Cept he was an asshole and said to the bartender "Just give me a Manhattan, dickhead." The Bartender said "Yes sir!" Then the kid could get the drink someone wiped a big brown booger on the inside of the glass. The kid said "Hey what the fuck? WHAT IS THAT BROWN CLUMP OF SHIT FLOATING AT THE TOP?" He said "It must be Harlem, pussy boy!" Then everyone laughed profusioly at him.

Why does Harlem stand out as such an eyesore? Why else!
