New York Overheard

New Yorkers have a way of saying lots of funny stuff, usually when you least expect it, and one of the most fun things about being on the streets of New York is that it is impossible to predict when or where this will happen. This blog is about those amazing unpredictable moments when New Yorkers are just being, well, NEW YORKERS. I LOVE New York and I LOVE New Yorkers. As a matter of fact, I consider myself to be one. I hope you enjoy my blog about what I have overheard on the streets of the Big Apple. I encourage and welcome your comments and, hey, feel free to tell me what YOU have OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK!
