    Okay. I don’t really get that. Out of the things I hear new yorkers brag about, they are basically correct. I am not a new yorker, but their pizza, entertainment, and culture is basically what the western world runs on. I know someone who lives in LA who cannot miss a single opportunity to shit on any other city/town. So yeah, I don’t really see the issue here, or if there is one, being unique to NYC.

      their pizza

      Oh really? Everyone else likes their pizza with toppings. New Yorkers like it with just plain cheese, dripping in disgusting excess grease, and if you don’t fold it in half while you eat it, they will GET ALL UP INTO YOUR FACE. Nobody else folds pizza. It’s not normal behavior.

      entertainment

      You mean all those movies and shows that get made in HOLLYWOOD? Last time I checked, that sign isn’t overlooking fucking Brooklyn. If it was, it would probably say “Brooklyn” instead of “Hollywood.”

      culture

      Like what? What culture are you talking about? Sure, some of the great artists and musicians and writers have been from New York. But a lot of them have been from the Midwest and California and the South and the West, too. And even (gasp) from places outside the USA!!! Imagine that!

      New York’s own native culture is basically based on looking down their noses at everyone else on the planet, as if we’re lower creatures. What else do they have? Bodegas? They actually think those goddamn things are a legit cultural element. What even is supposed to be the appeal of those fucking places? All the selection and quality of a fucking Dollar General, with all the prices of DEFINITELY NOT A DOLLAR GENERAL.

      Hey, maybe that’s the legendary cultural output you’re talking about. New Yorkers invented the cultural meme of ridiculously, unsustainably, civilization-threateningly inflated prices on basic consumer goods and necessities.

        It would obviously be a waste of time to continue here. You have a weird chip on your shoulder about NYC that practically no one else has, outside of rural people who hate cities.

        Which by the way is what I theorized at the beginning of this exchange. You’ve just provided a lot of evidence that you’re mad at New York, not that NeW yOrkErS hAvE tO bE tHe BeSt At EvErYtHiNg
