In the wintertime the temperature falls well below the legal minimum, or rather it would do if anybody had the common sense to set a legal minimum. The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79. In the summer it's too darn hot. It's one thing to be the sort of life form that thrives on heat and finds, as the Frastrans do, that the temperature range between 40,000 and 40,004 is very equable, but it's quite another to be the sort of animal that has to wrap itself up in lots of other animals at one point in your planet's orbit, and then find, half an orbit later, that your skin's bubbling. Spring is overrated. A lot of the inhabitants of New York will honk on mightily about the pleasures of spring, but if they actually knew the first thing about the pleasures of spring they would know of at least 5,983 better places to spend it than New York, and that's just on the same latitude. Fall, though, is the worst. Few things are wose than fall in New York. Some of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats would disagree, but most of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats are highly disagreeable anyway, so their opinion can and should be discounted. When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe, the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building.
New Yorker: "Spring in New York is the best!"
Citizen of nearly any other city: "Yea, the all the flowers and trees! You do know what those are...right?"
New Yorker: "..."

A scene or location characterized by a multitude of unrelated activities and/or large groups of people.
You should have been at the party last night, man - eight kegs, 15 bottles of liquor, hundreds of people all over the place. It was New York.

Very intellectually stimulating and culturally charged city, from it's EUROPEAN contributions. Whereas the Puerto Ricans add nothing, and everyone hates them. And the negroes worse.
A city as of late the Irish have claimed credit for building? Even though it was already built, when the Dutch had arrived. They just contributed to it's corrupt politics and greasing the squekey wheel.
Look at Ireland, do they build anything? They have have many good writers, because the Irish are good bullshitters, and that is it. But they did not build New York.

when older/ lamer people on either the west coast or in mountain time celebrate the New Year with New York at 9:00 or 10:00 respectfully
my parents are lame, they made us celebrate the New York New Year then went to bed at 9:15
