New York City Street Gets a Tourist Lane

Posted by samzenpus on from the pass-on-the-left dept.

Some native New Yorkers' dream came true on the Fifth Avenue sidewalk between East 22nd and 23rd streets yesterday. An unknown person had divided the sidewalk with a white line: one side for tourists and the other marked "New Yorkers." Receptionist Bianca Smith said she liked the idea. "New York tourists are annoying. They stop, look around, take pictures, and hold me up. I don't know if the lanes could be enforced, but it would be nice. For now, I'll just keep walking around them," she said.

    New York. Never have I met such a bunch of egotistical arrogant arseholes in all my life. The upper classes of Paris and Tel Aviv paled in comparison to any native of New York city.
