when i moved to DC after a stint in NYC, my boss had nothing but contempt when I inquired about the Friday summer hours policy.

The LIRR Cannonball express train to Hamptons leaves at 407 pm if you miss that no it sucks. Jitney is stuck in mad traffic, driving is insane, other LIRR trains running local.

So got to leave work by 330 pm at latest.

I lived in Manhattan 13 years other than a wedding and wisdom teeth removal I was only in Manhattan 2 weekends over 13 years in the summer.

I was in the Hamptons all 16 weekends of summer ever summer and everyone I knew from Manhattan was there.

I left my car at my Hamptons house all summer and I sat 90 percent of time someone gave me a ride or took jitney or train. Sometimes just someone I met or guest at house.

Then you have Fire Island crowd, North fork crowd, shelter island crowd, even upstate NY crowd and even poor people hit Poconos.

Jesus Christ.

These are the type of absolute zeroes who think being from NY (which she isn’t) is a substitute for having a personality.

Your very presence makes people want to gouge out their own eyeballs.

My mother and father lived on Manhattan when single. They met got married and I was born in Manhattan and lived in NYC till 12. I moved back when single. I lived on Long Island from 12-22.

Heck I went to Bordy Barn, Ed’s Bay Pub, Neptune Beach club when 18 and slept in my car.

In fact I forgot I did spend a third weekend in NYC in early August for a bachelor party. At one point after 30 drinks I got my old Plymouth “station car” out and we were flying through the empty streets of Manhattan by Jacob Javits but only ugly hookers out. think I hit 70mph in Times Square. Was a ghost town.

To this day a lot of apartment buildings NYC has no air conditioning. My rent stabilized walk up building was an inferno in the summer. Why would I stay there?

So actually being from NY is your entire personality.

Wondering which is worse? The first scenario or this??

I spent decades in Brooklyn. It's even more poppin now since Covid. We were poor and never went to poconos per PP lol. Coney Island, Bergen beach (less crowded), rockaways (made it dance after hurricane sandy). Go hang out in Washington square park, it's always a vibe.

What is so great about Carbone? My dd lived on the same street as Carbone during school and I would never had guessed it was an expensive restaurant.
