In terms of “meanings”, for people living here “212” is a prime number since it is associated with Manhattan and business. To have a “212” here meant that “you made it”. “718” is more like the “second class, bridge and tunnel” person….you’re in NYC but you’re in the outerboroughs. “917” has become a prime cell number now since there are very few of...

Overheard in New York
ajkdslk:
I live about an hour and a half from NYC and I love reading this site it’s pretty funny.
so here are my latest favorites,
Mom, loudly: Who does mommy love? Screaming toddler, holding cup in stroller: Tee tee tee! Mom: Mommy loves the baby! And who’s the baby? Child: Tee tee tee! Mom: Are you the baby? (child starts crying) Mom: Oh, stop that! You’re old enough to drink a latte, so...

“I did the bloody thing in 1975 and I thought it would last a couple of months as a promotion and disappear.” Milton Glaser
In this short video Milton Glaser answers the following questions: Are you ever annoyed by the prevalence of the “I Love New York” logo? Are you upset you don’t have the trademark to the image?
What MTA says, what MTA means
josh:
“Train traffic ahead of us” — some idiot held the doors open.
“An earlier incident” — an earlier incident of being incompetent.
“Held by the train dispatcher” — the person in control of this train is far away, you cannot hurt him.
“Rmgf Fras d fa on the Jqw line” — get off immediately. You are going the wrong way, despite all evidence to the contrary.

MTA: Smart card technology by 2014
talesfromthemta:
Bus and subway riders will be able to abandon the MetroCard and use debit or credit cards to ride anywhere in the city by 2014, according to the MTA.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the first time set a target date for a no-swipe smart-card system to be in full use after years of studies and pilot programs.

NYT: What people are reading on the subway. →
bespangled:
Janelle’s Subway Reader Bestsellers List I have been informally conducting this survey the past year or so, so I’m kinda mad the NYT got it published first. The results are about what I’d expect, although I’d love to break it down by train line or borough — I see more religious texts and test prep books, as well as Japanese novels, Chinese, Farsi, and Sanskrit newspapers, and...

Coming soon: Vomit fee for NYC cabs?
talesfromthemta:
Cabbies in Chicago are asking city leaders for several fare increases reports the Tribune this morning. Among them is a vomit tax. Says one driver: “”If someone throws up in the back of a cab, it’s no laughing matter to the cabdriver, who now has to take two hours to detail the cab.”
Puke in a cab and you have to cough up an extra $50 to cover the driver’s cleaning costs.

Large Dogs in Public Housing Are Now Endangered... →
rebeccalando:
Basically, the NYC Dept of Public Housing has put a ban on public housing tenants owning pure-bred or mixed breed pit bulls, dobermans, and rottweilers, and a required permit for any dog over 25 lbs. Dogs over 40 lbs, regardless of breed, are not eligible for permits, and are banned from public housing as well.
This is sick and wrong. The dept is making people choose between their...

park(ing) day.
nettap:
Parking in New York City is nothing to get excited about, but Park(ing) Day, emphasis on those hugging parentheses, is another story. This annual transformation of ordinary parking spaces into public places, an event that began in San Francisco and premiered locally in Brooklyn, now happens in cities all over the world. On Friday, 55 parking spaces around New York will be turned into...
