I’m not from NY, but I grew up close enough that we were there all the time growing up (a lot of it was because our family held season tix to the Yankees for years, so we spent a lot of time splitting days between downtown and the Bronx+little Italy) — plus where I’m from has a very similar culture to NYC. In any case, I experienced quite a lot of interesting conversations — my dad’s very social, so he’d randomly be getting into little quips and friendly back and forth’s with random strangers. People definitely don’t understand NY’ers if they aren’t from there or spent a lot of time there. It’s too bad what DeBlasio+Cuomo’s done to that city. My brother just had to finally leave (after living there 10+ years, and telling me last year he’d never leave) because it just got so bad. He literally left the first week of June, right after everything really went to shit. He just broke his lease, paid the fee and dipped out
