Thread: Dis is for New Yorkers only, da rest of u's forgetaboutit.

Wow, I read this anyway and found out how "world's apart" we Texans and the New Yorkers really are!

I'm from New York and have been away for many many years. I still yearn for "real Pizza" Oh and White Castle too!!

I just had to send that to my aunt that lives in the "city"

Oh E, I'm a Joisey goil but I LOVE New York. I have lived in worked in over 35 countries and frankly, I feel at home in NYC like no place else... it's the greatest city in the world!

thanks for making my day!

P.S... Easton? sorry but does NOT compare...

Home sweet home.

Left one out. "The Island" starts at the Nassau county border.

Never had White Castle. When our girls visited friends, they went to Chicago, and were "treated" to White Castle. They absolutely hated it! They said give them Sonic or McDonald's any day!

Rob- 550 sq feet! Dam you were livin large!


The one that I can so relate to on that list is the president coming to town. No one cares about him. It's just the traffic they talk about.

And the weather. New yorkers hate any kind of weather. "Oy it's too hot or too cold". or "When is this rain gonna stop?" then if it don't rain for 7 days they start talking about restricting water usage. "We're having a drout!"

How could anyone hate a White Castle burger? (Loving referred to here as belly bombers and sliders.) I get them on the way home about once a month in what's called a "crave case" -- a case of 24 steaming White Castle burgers -- and Philip eats about 10 at a sitting.

They are SO dang good. It's been YEARS since I've had any (thanks to low carb).

I'm with you, April. We had White Castles in Detroit, too. A bag 'o sliders was considered quite the gourmet meal, especially if you had a malt to go with it.
They were really good, too. Square, with little holes in them and onions on top...Mmmmm.
I gotta say, I have lived in various parts of the country, and NOWHERE does pizza taste like it does in the City. The best.

Biggest thing I remember about White Castle is that after eating a "bag" of 'em you were still tasting them for days after...
On the don't walk signs... You do know that car hood ornaments are really crosshairs for sighting on the pedestrians. Wouldn't wanna miss.
I was raised in the Bronx and in Jersey City. Parents were from the thriving metropolis of Hoboken (Sinatra was from there too)

When I was a kid, White Castle Hamburgers were 12 cents a piece. (Yeah, I'm older 'n dirt.) Find six bottles to return to Mr. O'Reilly's grocery (yeah, they were 2 cents a piece) and take a hike and get one of those little square delights to eat on the walk home.

There are White Castles in 2 more places that I know of: Indianapolis, Indiana....and my grocer's freezer. And they can stay there. I don't want to insult anyone's taste, but.....I'll just leave it at that!

I'm just typing this from my second spare room we use for an office in our 2300 square foot home we pay $1355/month for....and it's considered basic middle class here. But that's only because Texas has alot more space to spare than New York! I do want to visit one day....just to try to take in the vastness of New York City. I can't even imagine that.....Dallas is considered a big city here.....but a drop in the bucket to NYC!

Dude, we had a fire here (in the "Panhandle") that burnt more acreage in 2-3 days than the entire amount of square mileage in Rhode Island.

My sister and I once drove from Dallas to El Paso (to get to New Mexico) for a visit with our parents (they used to speak to us!). We drove for 12 hours straight as the crow flies and NEVER LEFT TEXAS.

DH used to live in Boston and said you could visit 3 or 4 states up there in the time it takes to just get out of here!

And just think: Alaska is bigger than Texas. I cannot even imagine the enormity. I lived there as a child, but never even thought about that then.

Living in the US is like living among a bunch of foreign countries....where we all (more or less) look and speak the same: it's the food, clothes, and customs that are different. Amazing and much fun.
