I know you're a tourist because ....

rieann84

You actually like being in Times Square

You went to Red Lobster in Times Square.

I was going to post something about the chain restaurants in Times Sq. But, considering I'm from NJ I feel like I have no authority as I could be considered a tourist myself ?

You're only a tourist in NY if your from Jersey if you come into the city to go to the clubs in the middle of winter and come without wearing a coat, even though the walk from the path train is three or four avenues.

You're a tourist if you get on the subway... at ANY stop... and ask, "Is this the train to New York?"

HAH .. I'm guilty of going coat-less. But I do this for many things because I just don't feel like dealing with coat check or lugging one around. Halloween parade being a big one. Don't care how cold it is..not covering up this magnificent costume.

I handle the subways with the utmost confidence even if I have no clue where the hell I am. :P

I've worked the parade several years... so no coat is both understood and appreciated!

I didn't understand anything that had to do with traffic and highways!

They all have numbers, and they all have names. We never use the numbers. If you don't know where the Kennedy ends and the Edens begins, which way the Jane Addams goes, the Tri-State at Irving Park toll, The Reagan (used to be the East/West) Eisenhower into the circle, Bishop Ford to the Dan Ryan, what the Hillside strangler is or what Lake Shore from Hollywood to Monroe means, you're probably going to be in trouble. And don't get me started on The Stevenson outbound to the North-South.
