    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Pomme Frittes............ Why do I live in Texas??? Ugh!!

    I make my own Pomme Frittes.. ;)


    but on the etiquette thing... in my two days that I stayed in NYC... I learned REAL quick that I don't have as much personal space on a sidewalk as I do down here in Texas.

    Yes, but what makes Pomme Frittes, Pomme Frittes is their delicious mayos and sauces.. oh god............. Here is their list of deliciousness: http://pommesfritesnyc.com/gallery.html

    You can order dutch frites sauce online... otherwise, the Best Maid salad dressing (like miracle whip) is the next best thing...

    But I grew up on the real thing in the Netherlands. :wink: :glasses: and peanut sauce is the weirdest but most delicious thing the Dutch put on their fries.

    This is why NYC sucks!

    I disagree.

    Same-This is why NYC is awesome. We have rules and if you can't follow them, get out of the way! I've got places to go :tongue:

    That's awesome, and they included a cat in the bodega!

    Also I don't care where you live, if you walk 4 abreast down the sidewalk I wish slow death on you and your 3 loser friends.

    Maybe it's just a pick-up game of Red Rover...?

    Kidding!

    Yeah NYC is the only place in America that has it's own regional "rules/guidelines".

    The only one I disagree with is the umbrella one... and amend it to say the bigger the Umbrella you use the bigger an @$$hole you are. Golf Umbrellas are not made for busy streets!

    YES THEY ARE!!!!!

    New York rawks. That's why I chose to be born here.

    They forgot the part where you're supposed to say F*** three times a sentence.

    The best thing I ever witnessed in NYC was when we were eating dinner (waiting to see Ave Q) and a taxi nearly ran over a pedistrian and we saw the stereotypical banging on the taxi with the fingers and the F-bomb flying... It was AWESOME!!!

    It's really just a point of emphasis, not a vulgarity. If someone says, "F***ing bear left at the f***ing fork in the f***ing road", what they really mean is "make completely certain you bear left at the fork".

    Especially like the assertive part. What's with the pole huggers on the Subway?

    This also applies to Tokyo, except the entire place is the size of 3 NYCs and is laid out like the West Village...with almost no street names.

    Some days I miss NYC. Mostly I miss the food.

    My last trip to NYC really hit home that the place is like Thunderdome. As long as you're comfortable being a silverback, you're good to go. There's a lot I was able to get done there with, "Hi, **** you."

    I was a bit disappointed at the food selection, granted it was better than Boston. It made me wish I was in SF.

    Someone did it...someone mentioned Pomme Frites!! Why you have to do this to me so early?!! I still have time (minus the money involved) to hop on the train, skip all my errands for the day, and get over there before 2 :P
