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!

New York blues

The overwhelming feeling of despair felt by someone who has escaped from New York upon returning. Usually felt within the first hours of arrival or with the sight of specific landmarks.

Felt most commonly by those from downstate NY with family or business ties that keep them coming back.

Coworker: I hear you moved to West Virginia, nothing but hicks out there right?

Me: No, it's actually quite advanced outside of the worst of the hollers.

Coworker: But do you ever miss home?
Me: Already do since I drove out 19 hours ago.
Coworker: Wow, you've got the New York Blues!

The New New York

An almost unrecognizable city, silent and still, filled with people yet seemingly abandoned.

From her balcony she looked down at the bizarrely empty streets of the New New York.

New York Breakfast

When you stop at an unnamed deli or food truck while walking from the train/bus stop to your office and get a bagel or croissant with eggs and bacon/sausage (and possibly cheese), then eat it on-the-move so you’re finished by the time you get to the front door of your office building.

I was running late to work so I had to get a quick New York breakfast on the way to the office.
