New York City Syndrome 

The tendency of a New York City resident to only judge other cities by how they compare to New York. By living in the largest grid city in their country, other cities, in comparison, seem small, spread out, slow-paced, too quiet, poorly planned, or just not like cities at all.
Friend: "So how do you like Boston so far?"
NYC Resident: "It's a quaint town, but I'm not a fan, it's just an older, smaller, less-populated NYC."
Friend: "Dude you've been living in Manhattan for five months, you can't have New York City Syndrome already."

Friend: "Look at this instagram video of Shinjuku, Tokyo, the streets look so calm and narrow with little shops and ramen places scattered around. I wanna visit so badly."
NYC Resident: "Aww yeah! It's like a tiny little New York. A cute mini city!"
Friend: "Bro Toyko is the largest city in the world, can you quit it with the condescending NYC Syndrome?"

New York recovery syndrome 

A strong feeling of exhaustion on the day after (or sometimes up to several days following) a day trip to a city several hours from home.

Akin to jet lag, symptoms appear because such a trip often requires waking up earlier than one is accustomed to, spending many hours of the day seated in a car, bus, or train, sometimes as the driver, and going to sleep later than one is accustomed to.

The symptoms include fatigue, weakness, laziness, and a lack of enthusiasm. The sufferer may not necessarily feel the need to sleep during the day, but won't feel very energetic either.

While the term can apply to such travel to and from anywhere, it is named by people who live in cities several hours from New York City from where there are direct highways and regular bus and train service (such as Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, or Washington) who take day trips to New York for business or pleasure and return on the same day.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
