New York 5-second warning

The red arrow that shows up on some New York traffic lights to let drivers and pedestrians know that vehicles aren't permitted to turn. Considered unsafe for drivers and pedestrians alike because five seconds is hardly enough time for a driver to make a complete stop.
Why can't the DOT make those red arrow signals at least fifteen seconds long?! I hate those New York 5-second warnings!

(US ECONOMY) One of the 12 district Federal Reserve Banks. Based in New York (2nd FR district). Along with members of the Federal Reserve Board, enjoys a permanent seat on the FOMC (other district banks only get to rotate).

Main job is to regulate banks and administer monetary policy through open market operations. Former New York Fed president Tim Geithner is now Secretary of the US Treasury Department (as of early 2009).
Prior to 1928, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was the de facto leader of the entire system. This was because of the powerful personality and connections of Benjamin Strong, a former J.P. Morgan partner.

East York

One of the six boroughs of Toronto, hence the name "the 6ix". Located east of the borough of Old Toronto, south of the borough of North York and west of the borough of Scarborough, East York is generally considered to be 2 distinct parts. The first part is what is usually referred to as East York: the "traditional" part of the borough situated southeast of the Don River, which includes areas like O'Connor and some parts of the Danforth, and Leaside, the part situated northwest of the Don River, which includes cute boutiques and patisseries along Bayview Avenue, as well as more expensive housing. Houses are also very close to each other. East York is known for happy and hospitable people, for wonderful Christmas decorations, sense of community and a general cute vibe unmatched anywhere else in Toronto.

On a side note, East York is NOT to be confused with the Danforth. While both areas are closely related, the Danforth is part of the borough of Old Toronto, not East York. The general area can be referred to as "East York-Danforth" or just the "East Side".
Person 1: Where does she live?
Person 2: She lives in East York.
Person 1: She must love her neighbours, dress in long green jackets, wear pastel-coloured pompom hats, cute scarves, and drinks a lot of hot chocolate with whipped cream.

The New York Hardcore band known as PUNCHYOURFACE, from Long Island is widely known as New York's most dangerous band. This is based on what goes on during their live shows including but not limited to past shootings, security with metal detectors, off duty cops and undercover cops hired for security. PUNCHYOURFACE fan's are often times told not to "mosh" meanwhile its allowed during every other band.
Example: "PUNCHYOURFACE, New York's most dangerous band, only played 1:30secs before a brawl broke out that shutdown The Redzone permanently."
