Another one from 2008. Fun game: spot the outdated MTA lines and technology references. Winner receives a subway token and cookies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When my publicity team (meaning my mom) tell people back home that I live in New York, many of them have the same response: Who's mom are you? But for the few people who do remember me, or just want to humor my mom, they are impressed that I live in this teeming metropolis. 'Wow," they tell my mom, "I could never live there, in that teeming metropolis."
And they're right, they could never live here – they’re far too nice. But with the correct training and a little practice, they could live here. It is with those people – the good people of the world - in mind that I've compiled this: How to Be a True New Yorker. Here, you will find everything you need to blend in to the Big Apple.
First, you must talk on your cell phone more than is humanly possible. This is especially important when riding on the subway lines that receive a cell signal because they run above ground, such as the N and W trains in Queens.
