Since Billy Joel is trending now, here are my favorites in no particular order:
New York man is fucking pissed
Why you shouldn't marry right out of high school
Don't trust anyone, not even yourself your lover
Tied with Alicia Keys for "Most Overplayed song at any given NYC sports game" award
Barbershop quartet serenades you so sweetly under the moonlight
Never live in Hackensack, New Jersey
Hey remember the Vietnam War? Yeah that was bad.
I wanna have sex with a Catholic girl
I wanna have sex with an Upper East Side girl
Solo by The Artful Dodger from the hit 1830's bestseller Oliver Twist
Shit's fucked
The only reason I know about the existence of Wheeling, West Virginia
"Hey, Billi! Looks to me like you're on the WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVER"

Why does everyone jump to “EWWW I’M NOT EATING THOSE! New York City water is gross!” when they hear about the Billion Oyster Project? They aren’t farming the oysters to eat, they’re just planting them to filter the water and clean up the harbor.

On Monday, my Mom and I went into the City for dentist’s appointments. Our teeth were in good shape, so we were done in there pretty quickly and got to spend the rest of the day hanging out in the Bryant Park area in the nice weather.
We had Indian food for lunch and we got to play mancala in the park (there was a cart where you could borrow board games for free as long as you played where the attendant could see you!) with the tulips blooming all around us. We walked up to West 44th Street to peep in the windows of the New York Yacht Club (shhhh), and then got to say hi to the lions at the New York Public Library’s main branch and see their art exhibit about the Arctic. It was just a really, really fun day.
