    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.

    You feed the seagulls,

    You're all nervous and expect to be robbed at gunpoint at any moment,

    You try drive on the wrong side of the road (the right is wrong)

    You get offended by the use of the word colored ( here it's an actual racial group and not a racial slur)

    Wear I love Cape Town tee shirts

    Forget the sunscreen and turn bright red

    You think you can go hiking. At 2pm. In July.

    You don't carry a water bottle with you.

    You carry an umbrella when it rains.

    You don't carry an umbrella in the sun.

    You can't pronounce the Spanish street names.

    You don't rejoice if it happens to rain.

    You think you can walk barefoot.

    You wear pantyhose.

    Totally. Also...

    They don't bring a reusable bag and/ or balk at paying 10 cents a bag.

    They throw away a plastic bottle.

    They did hair or makeup to go to the beach.

    When it's winter time here and the natives are wearing jackets, you are wearing shorts.... 65 is cold people!

    You pronounce the L's in tortilla

    You think Taco Bell is real Mexican Food

    You are out of here before summer starts

    You are over 65 and from Canada........ Darn snow birds

    You drive so slow!!

    You wear jeans and a sweat shirt when it's over 60 and we're in shorts and T-Shirts.

    New York State is pretty big-it's going to take you a long time to drive to NYC.

    You've never had Canadian beer .

    You ask for the best place to get Buffalo Wings (they're just Wings).

    - You think everyone acts just like the jersey shore cast
    - You ask if I know Snooki
    - You pronounce it "joisey" trying to be funny or maybe trying to fit in, who knows?
    - You don't know anything about the greatness of Taylor ham, egg & cheese (Or whatever "pork roll" for you south weirdos)
    - You're under the impression that the whole state smells like a grandma fart passing through an onion. Whatever bro..you're only like 15% right.
    - The phrase "mischief night" means nothing to you


    Though I don't know why anyone would come to NJ for tourism, there ya go.

    Just adding on to this:

    - You get out of your car trying to pump your own gas
    - You think the Meadowlands is really in NY
    - You also think the best pizza is in NY (lol)
    - You've no idea that South Jersey really is a separate state

    When you see a fighter jet flying low, you point and scream "What's happening to it?!" It's landing. That's what happens when you're next to an air force base.

    Also, you ask "Do they always fly this low?" No, they're only doing that because you're in town.

    You complain that there's really nothing to do in Dayton. We know.

    You point out that there are a lot of people from other countries in the area and ask them if they speak English

    Visiting Manhattan makes you a tourist. Better hotels and restaurants on the outer boros. :)
