If you never shopped at Jimmy Jazz, Conway, Pathmark, Modells, or never had a regents test in high school, or a green metro card, you can’t claim you’re from NYC
If you’re a transplant from anywhere in the middle of America you’re not a New Yorker but if you’re an immigrant and came to New York when you were in elementary school you 1000% a New Yorker hope this helps
NYC is absolutely electric right now.
Perfect weather. Knicks in the Finals. Hyrox going on. Interns. Summer Friday. Every bar is buzzing. Everyone is outside.
I honestly can’t remember the city having more energy than it does today
