I Know I’m Back In New York When . . . .
- I made a wrong turn on a through street in the city and couldn’t turn for blocks.
- Not being able turn didn’t really matter since traffic was barely moving on the through street anyway . . . .
- The rear window of an SUV had a dirty Rangers logo sticker on it, along with a New York Yankees logo in the colors of the Italian flag. Okay, really!? First of all, the idiot probably was born in Franklin Square anyway (Franklin Square, my hometown, as well as to many Guidos, is where I spotted this SUV, and it’s also “J-Woww’s” hometown from MTV’s “Jersey Shore” . . . oh I’m sooooo proud!), so stop with the damn colors on a NY sports team representing the country your grandparents came from . . . I don’t have a New York Islanders logo in Greek colors! That would be ridiculous!
- I’ve already heard more car horns in one day than I have heard in nearly 2 years in Kansas City.
- Forgedduboudit . . . .
- I had a slice of pizza for lunch. Yum!
- Nearly everyone on the streets during lunch hour had either a box of pizza, or just a small bag of pizza . . . yum!
- I couldn’t turn right on red, but I was oh so tempted to . . . .
- It took me 50 minutes t0 complete a 20 minute drive . . . awesome.
- On the other hand, I got to use the diamond/HOV lane today and was waving traffic goodbye as I turned a 40 minute drive into an 18 minute one! Wooo!
- Every radio station finds a way to bring up the New York Yankees. Ugh.
- Dirty Rangers.

welcome home!
Well bienvenidos e benvenutto! Now your covered in Corona and FS…
And admit it you missed the pizza and bagels.. nooo way they can compare in nebraska
You mentioned the Rangers twice and Islanders once; terrible!
oh – and every radio station I turn to is either cheesy pop or Pink Floyd, and nothing in between! Oh, besides Billy Joel songs that is.
We need to goto Astoria for some Greek food sir… how was the food variety over there in South Dakota?
The food variety was very good – yes, bbq is front and center and let me tell you it was freken amazing stuff lol – but there is a lot of great Mexican food and a few other gems sprinkled across the city- definitely a good place to eat – there were only 2 Greek places and I never ate there, but what would you expect – not a lot of Greeks there – I actually had great Greek food today – yet another sign I’m back in NY!
