Signs You're From New York

  • You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan.
  • You secretly envy cabbies for their driving skill.
  • You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
  • You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but can't find Wisconsin on a map.
  • The homeless are invisible.
  • The subway makes sense.
  • The subway should never be called anything prissy, like the Metro.
  • You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multilingual.
  • You think $7.00 to cross a bridge is a fair price.
  • You've considered stabbing someone just for saying "The Big Apple".
  • Your door has more than three locks.
  • You go to a hockey game for the fighting. In the stands. To participate.
  • Your favorite movie has DeNiro in it.
  • The most frequently used part of your car is the horn.
  • You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.
  • You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard. You complain about having to mow it.
  • You are a skee-ball juggernaut.
  • You consider Westchester "Upstate".
  • You cried the day Ed Koch took over for Judge Wapner.
