Well there's a law floating around to make eating on subway illegal.

what vid?

subway dining should be a definte no-no. a banana is one thing but a plate of pasta is something else all together. if a person is sipping a starbuck's coffee with a scone and that train stops short i certainly wouldn't want to be in the vicinity. and as if there aren't enough rodents and other breeds of vermin living very nicely off people's eating habits i would not object to a food ban underground.

NYC a shithole? sometimes...

but where else can you go to dinner at 11:30 at night? WHere else in the world, can one club close at 4am and another one open at 4am? Where else can you see the best plays and not to mention fashion? Where else in the world can you walk out your door at 3am and see a people walking around like it was the middle of the day? Where else in the world is one area (times square ) lit up like its the afternoon? Where else in the world do people travel from all around the country just to look at dirt. Yes folks, I am talking about Ground Zero. Try walking around that area and seeing how many people are from some where else. Where else in the world do people pay over 3k for an aprtment with no bedroom.. Midtown, yes folks you heard it right here..

New York has its ups and downs.. True.. But I would not want to live anywhere else..

ANd that my friends is this Nu Yawkas opinion. And we all know, Nu Yawkas have the only opinion that matters

I reserve public transportation for Europe and even then, I usually taxi.  

The idea of using my fingers to eat amidst all that ickiness grosses me out, even opening my mouth on a train is out of the question....and I'm FAR from afraid of a little germ!

Of course, I was also raised to believe that only streetwalkers walk and smoke at the same time. What the hell is that about??
