A Tale Of Two Cities (part 2)

Things That NY Has That Nashville Needs (in no particular order)

A subway system

real diners that are open 24/7

real bagels (NY'ers know what I mean)

real pizza and real pizzarias (ditto)

kosher deli's

small, neighborhood bodegas

Bloomingdales

an outdoor amusement area a la Coney Island

a theater district

an aquarium

yellow cabs

culturally diverse neighborhoods

street vendors selling $25 "designer" handbags

fruit stores

sidewalks in the suburbs

fast service

women who know when not to wear tube tops and cut offs

men who know not to wear socks with sandals

less trucker hats

well groomed facial hair (on men!)

well-waxed women

take-out delivery service after 9pm

Tiffanys

falafel carts

dirty water dogs

Nathans

roach coaches

street names that stay the same from one end to the other

a professional baseball team

I reserve the right to add to this list at any time

  1. Plenty of sidewalks in the suburbs here!

    You can keep your crazy nasty subway - although I'd take a Metro system like they have in D.C.

    And AMEN on the street names! It's the craziest thing ever.
