Some new blogs I like.
New to me, at least. Overheard in NY has been kicking around for a while.
I like Overheard in New York because of things like this:
Black guy: Where you from?
Tourist: Maryland.
Black guy: Cool. I’ve seen The Wire. I know how you guys get down.
I’m filled with equal measures of pride and horror at that statement.
And I like Stuff White People Like because of things like this:
“If you are in the position where you need to take a white person to lunch for business or pleasure, saying “I know a great sandwich shop,” will always bring out a smile. The white person will then tell you about the great sandwich shop in the town where they went to college and how they had a crush on a waiter, or that there was some special sandwich that they always ordered. This will put the person in a good mood.”
It’s all very tongue-in-cheek, and it cracks me up.
Stuff White People Like has now been added to my RSS reader. Hilarious.

We couldn’t help but notice that Buenos Aires is full of New Yorkers these days. They’re renaming the local barrios after Manhattan boroughs and constantly explaining how much like New York BA actually is. They are from the center of the universe, after all.
So we thought we’d poke some fun at them by putting together 7 Reasons Why Buenos Aires Beats NY.

We had a lot of fun writing it. We hope you have fun with it too.
