Interview
More than 8 million people call New York their home. Its inhabitants speak more than 800 languages, which makes it one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the world. All the different individuals and cultures melting and stewing in one pot combined with the fast-paced and vibrant lifestyle of the city often results in quite bizarre moments. And it would be a crime not to share them with those who can’t roam its streets and experience them firsthand.
So that’s what we’re doing today. Courtesy of the Instagram account What Is New York, we present you with a whole list of New York pictures that show the city exactly like it is. Documented through the eyes of New Yorkers, they will transport you to the Big Apple in seconds.
While you’re scrolling through, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Ellie Seymour, a magazine writer, author, and blogger over on New York On My Mind, who kindly agreed to talk with us about all things NYC.

Uber Copter being the cheapest option here is mindblowing

It's not too uncommon to see that with nice cuts of meat where I used to live. Some stores would even have their salmon in the back so you had to ask the staff to get it, since it'd get stolen so often. (Arguably it was way too expensive so I kinda get it)

For those who don't know, the East River was one of the most polluted rivers in the world when I was a kid in NYC in the 50-60s.

Tiguan is a combination of Tiger and Iguana, chosen in a public poll. Not nearly as catchy as Boaty McBoatface chosen through an online poll.

Genius. You know you're living in the end-times when your preschooler says, "Mom, Dad, I'd like to be an invasive species for Halloween."

If you're wondering, because by the other comments, people are wondering and not getting it: This is a blue "CitiBike". They are swipe a card rentals you rent for a trip. Someone stole it. They've used duct tape to cover up branding. CitiBikes don't have kickstands because they're meant to be returned to rental bike rack where they're not needing one. So the thief added the table leg to it.

Obviously there’s a system within the cab for controlling the opening of the rear, this is normally separate from the controls for the terberg or bin lifting kit, occasionally a driver might not have their brain fully on the job in hand. It’s lucky they didn’t activate the blade that pushes all of the contents out of the wagon 😳

I am feeling slightly better now about life here in Toronto. But only slightly.

I've spent maybe 100 days in NYC. I was in Toronto a few weeks ago and I encountered more rude, obnoxious, walk wherever they feel like pedestrians in two hours than I did in 100 days in NYC. That's why when people from other countries come to other parts of Canada, they marvel at how friendly we are. It's because we send all of our a******s to Toronto. What a dull, ugly, rude, obnoxious s**t-hole of a city. New Yorkers are miles friendlier.
