Some guy will post a picture of a pretty standard looking pepperoni pizza and say: "Imagine not living in new york." And then there's the whole bodega discourse, which is also funny. "For you non-new yorkers, let me explain: a bodega is not a corner store. It's a place where you can buy gatorade, toilet paper, AND eggs." Thank you sir for explaining that to a slack-jawed yokel such as myself.

Anybody who cloaks themselves in the garb of "New Yorker" as their entire personality is a boring ass person. NYC is the best place to live in the United States since it's the only city where you can actually walk everywhere and that's why I love it but compared to any other city of similar or larger size it's embarrassing. We don't even have fucking glass on our metro platforms. Half of the island of Manhattan is a Disneyworld. A decent chunk of the iconic parts of NYC life have closed and are never coming back because landlords refuse to rent to businesses that aren't Starbucks or Planet Fitness. The roads are decaying, the parks are grassless wastelands, but fuck I don't know where else I could get a Tibetan momo, bomb ass al pastor tacos, xiao long bao, and fluffy bagels all on the same block.

If it makes you feel better, Tokyo is the same.

Yeah but Tokyo has some of the best transit in the world and incredibly well planned districts. If we had that and no glass I'd feel better.
