After some years of not living in NYC, I emerge from the subway on 14st, luggage in hand and this klutz steps on my foot. I give him a look, and he fires one back saying neither "Sorry" nor "Excuse me," but, "You stepped in front of me!" And before I could even think of what to say or how to say it, my mouth already on voice activation mode, immediately blurted out, "You lying sack of shit, you walked up behind me!"
0.2 seconds out of the subway, and I'm back in a NY frame of mind...

You can take the boy out of NY but not NY out of the boy. It's been way to long since I have had a NY experience. I miss the place.
Unfortunately, there just isn't 2 square inches left to stand on anywhere in Manhattan- and the few places I'd go to in Brooklyn and Queens to get away from it all are now overrun with condo towers. Despite that, I just discovered that NY can be quite enjoyable- as a tourist.
