Cityism #75: Spontaneous flower shopping/the pleasure of aroma on the curb.

It's nice to buy flowers.

Cityism #74: Bob and Harvey Weinstein.

Master players of the biz.

Cityism #73: Feminists.

Cityism #72: Referring to restaurants by introducing the chef's name first.

No, not that one. It's Thomas Keller's most recent.

Cityism #71: Oh, I never told you. I've been selling some of my art in the street.

Some just want to make money on the side...
Some are just trying to make a living.

Cityism #70: BANKSY.

Cityism #69: The bicycle guy that sells beer in Central Park.

Easy breezy.



Cityism #68: Subway reading.

Have you read the new Louis Sachar or R.L. Stine?! Hot damn. It's...it's riveting and absolutely harrowing. Engrossing on many levels...

Cityism #67: Village Voice erotic directory.

After you flip through the Voice (and get that notice of an advanced film screening), you may want to check out the erotic directory in the back. Not sure what you're into but if it's not arousing it's certainly amusing...or gross? Or just whatever.

Cityism #66: Always wash your hands.



Cityism #65: Check the weather early in the day. You don't want the rain to ruin your hair in the streets.

...Or you don't want to be rained on and splashed around. Mother Nature is one moody girl in this city.

Cityism #64: I should've just taken the subway.

I barely made it for the Ken Russell marathon because of traffic. My stupid taxi driver continued to throw his hands up in the air, disapprovingly witnessing the traffic before him and hearing my indignant scowls.

Should've just taken the subway...

Cityism #63: Every location has had a series of events happen over the course of history. You may be surprised.

I googled my location the other day and started reading some article from the NY Times dating back to 1907...Something about a jewel thief and a shop below me involving a robbery.

That's pretty dope.
