If you are a visitor to new york from another nation, feel free to disregard all of these, especially the one about whatever "lines" are.

If HBO decides to pay for your shave and a haircut in exchange for using photos of you in internal marketing for Boardwalk Empire, be sure to tip the barber like 30 bucks.

Why should you not take the empty train car? Are there CHUDS lying in wait?

No, but it will SMELL like one is.

If the train car is empty that means no one wants to be in it.

Think on that.

Also, don't do drugs you find on the subway platform.

In the summertime, the empty train car usually has broken a/c.

The empty train car rule also applies to Chicago and Paris.

It does not apply to Minneapolis. Every train car in Minneapolis is empty.

If someone is off to the side and you're not sure they are in line, ask them "are you in line?" (and then, under your breath "so get the fuck in line").

I take profound pleasure in dodging sidewalk solicitors this way. It's like that move in the movies where you grab the henchman near you and trick the other one into shooting his own guy.

I'm glad that I've finally developed that "move aside, motherfuckers" strut-and-stare that I now only have to make direct eye contact with the clipboard people and they shrink away.

This is a non-obvious double.

Well there are some new ones I guess so CARRY ON.

Sidewalk solictors used to avoid me because I looked too poor and sketchy -- now they just avoid me because I look like an asshole. Progress? Progress!
