New York 1/8th

New York 1/8th

A New York 1/8th refers to a common measurement for marijuana in NYC, particularly in the pre-legalization era of the mid-2000s. While an eighth (1/8th of an ounce) is traditionally 3.5 grams, in New York City, it was widely accepted that an "eighth" usually meant 3.0 grams—a well-known but rarely contested shorting of weight.

This was an open secret among buyers and sellers, a subtle nod to the city's hustle culture. Rather than being seen as a ripoff, it became an inside joke—a shared understanding between both parties that the NYC market had its own rules. Over time, the term evolved beyond just weed and is now used to describe any situation where someone knowingly accepts a slight shortcoming with a sense of pride and humor.

Whether you're reminiscing about pre-legalization pickups or recognizing a familiar NYC-style short, the New York 1/8th is a term of endearment, not a complaint.

New York Central Railroad

A once-prominent American railroad that operated primarily in the northeastern and midwestern United States from 1853 to 1968. Known for its iconic streamlined art deco steam locomotives and the "Water Level Route," the New York Central connected major cities like New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Chicago, and Cleveland, providing essential passenger and freight services. The railroad played a significant role in the development of American infrastructure during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The central was a symbol of innovation and luxury, offering one of the most comfortable and sophisticated train services of its time. Famous for its opulent "20th Century Limited" passenger trains, the New York Central catered to the elite with first-class accommodations and speedy, reliable service. It was also notable for its sleek, streamlined trains that became a hallmark of American rail travel during the mid-20th century.

At its peak, the New York Central owned thousands of miles of track and operated a vast network of trains, but like many railroads, it struggled to compete with the rise of automobiles and air travel in the post-World War II era. In 1968, the New York Central merged with its rival the Pennsylvania Railroad to form the Penn Central Transportation Company, which later became notorious for its bankruptcy in the early 1970s.
Man, the New York Central railroad streamlined steam locomotives were sexy trains, bud sadly none is preserved. What a shame
