Whether you do it on purpose or not, eavesdropping can teach you a lot about a city, especially one as chaotic, colorful, and unfiltered as New York. From subway rants to brunch debates and late-night sidewalk confessions, the Big Apple never runs out of conversations.
That’s where @overheardnewyork comes in — the Instagram account curates a library of real-life quotes people send in straight from the city's streets. Each of them is a moment suspended in time, weaving together the soundtrack of a place that millions call home.

And if you still want to complain about seats, I also have no shïts to give either.
Not her fault she's stuck speaking to somebody with limited linguistic prowess.
People who are like that in their 30s are not going to survive their 50s.
NY embraces you and takes it to a whole new level of prime assholiciousness.
If she comes back to return the beer, point her towards the discounted diapers.
My brain still says I'm 25, but my body knows the truth - that was over 40 years ago!
Mine, too! Though I don't mind skipping the marriage and divorce part - just gimme the gay bestie. 😂
Girl: Oh, I haven’t heard of her, is she an influencer or some other star?
Around here it's like NBD. Loma Prieta - THAT was an earthquake! Oct. 17, 1989 - we could *watch* the ground rolling towards us. 6.9 on the Richter scale. The people at the Giants World Series game got a ride! 😁
Partying? Is that when the kids go out and my wife and I blanket up, roll into a warm cannoli and watch a movie we fall asleep in the middle of?
Rural living is being able to distinguish the difference between a dairy farm, a sheep farm, and a hog farm by sniffing the air.
Here's the thing that kills me. We Americans are all supposedly so arrogant and rude.....and yet I'd never even consider attempting to generalize and criticize an entire other nationality of people. Meanwhile it happens here every day. But, we're the mean ones...and we're also supposed to just take it with a smile, which most of us do, or we're being too sensitive. Honestly, it seems to me there are mean and bigoted people in this so called friendly community....and judging by the comments and content...it's not us. Maybe I should just start posting about other countries stereotypes as if you all fit it? Maybe then you'll figure it out?
