Honk if you’re…

Car horns are completely abused by road-ragers and cabbies. I think car horns should be discontinued in new automobiles, and all other horns should be disabled in cars at their next inspection. I bet if there was a study conducted comparing how often a horn is used in anger vs actually preventing accidents…it may be a million to one.

Deja vu

Every neighborhood in Manhattan is looking same these days: bodega, bank, Laundromat, bar, Duane Reade. bodega, bank, Laundromat, bar, Duane Reade. bodega, bank, Laundromat, bar, Duane Reade. bodega, bank, Laundromat, bar, Duane Reade. Mom and Pop moved to Florida…

For sale

I sold my car before I moved to NYC. No need for one. Everything is in walking distance or accessible by subway or taxi.

NYC entrepreneurialism

My favorite NYC entrepreneurs: the guy who invented the little brown bag for “roadies” and the $3 throw-away umbrella.

B & T

DC — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:11:42 +0000

For those of you not from NY – B&T is not a sandwich without the lettuce. This is a derogatory term used for kids from Long Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut who take the “bridge and tunnels” into Manhattan to party. As a former B&T’er, I wear this tag proudly. But thankfully I will never need wait in Penn Station for the “5:15” ever again.

Sitting on 22s

There is a NYC yellow cab with phat, shiny rims. This may be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. The rims don’t spin (that would just be ridiculous).

TAXI!!!

DC — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:23:17 +0000

Every time I see someone raise their hand to hail a taxi I want to give them an enthusiastic high-5…and really slap the crap out of their hand. I’ve never done it, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate it.
