- If you are vegan and visiting New York City, accept the fact the unless you are in Park Slope, Brooklyn or Greenwich Village, Manhattan, the only restaurants you are likely to find that have anything other than a salad option are Indian.
- Citi Bikes (NYC bike share program) in Brooklyn look like this: 7 am - racks full, 9:30 am - racks empty (stays like that all day), 6:30 pm - racks full. At $95 for the year for unlimited 1/2-hour rides (as opposed to $112 per month for an unlimited-ride Metrocard) it looks as if Brooklynites have found a preferred mode of public transportation.
- After three weeks of incorporating fresh juices into my diet, I have an observation: there is no redemptive value to celery in a juice that outweighs the heinousness of the taste....except maybe if it granted me superpowers, and even then I'd have to think about it.
- Only 45% of New York City residents own a car compared with 72% of Chicagoans. The average body-mass index of an Illinoisan is 27.1, while residents of New York state on average come in at 24.5....the relative position of these two numbers is not a coincidence. New Yorkers walk everywhere.
- The password to know whether someone is truly a Chicagoan is to have them pronounce Throop Street. In New York City, it's Houston or DeKalb.
Enjoy the journey!
