Are you sure about that? I think L.A. and the Bay have a cross-cultural fermentation among African, West Indian and Latin culture that NYC can only dream of replicating.
I mean, if you go to California, you see much more interaction with blacks and Mexicans than you do with, say, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Jamaicans in New York. Yeah, yeah, Fat Joe, Big Pun, J-Lo and Zoe Saldana are a few notable exceptions, but by and large, NYC is a very segregated place where cultures never get mixed together. You need to go somewhere like East Los Angeles or Compton to truly experience a genuine fusion of all these different cultures.
As much as it must bother you that factually the NYC metro is the most segregated metro in America, what is the point of this thread? Another thread for you to ***** and moan that NYC should win at everything? Get a life.
You see, the good thing about sorbet, is the variety of mixed drinks and other concocsions you can make of it. I forget where exactly, but I remember having some sort of tequila and lemon sorbet mixed drink. Gotta say the tequila sneaks up on you when drinking those slushie mixes.

There used to be small chain of frozen beverage bars around So Cal called "Chillers". Two of the suicides would put you down.
I find a sprinkle of white pepper on sherbet to be just delightful.

I guess this was true.

San Franciscans have a crippling inferiority complex about New York and even hinting at that will make them very sad or very defensive.
You do realize that many West Indians (which is half the "black" population of NYC) are some part South Asian, some part East Asian, or some part white (or in my case, Jewish), right? That's why we have Jamaican girls walking around with names like Kerry-Ann Fook and Stephanie Levy. So when you talk about miscegenation and fusing cultures, it doesn't really get more pronounced than it does in the West Indies, and by extension, New York City. And I'm not talking about Asian "talking black" and living near black kids. I'm talking about a couple of centuries worth of blending African, Latin, Asian and S. Asian culture. That culture has now been transported to the Boroughs (i.e., Chutney music, roti, etc).
Thanks, British Colonialism!
This is all true. I know Jamaicans with the last name Fung.

Subliminal sarcastic jabs towards CA. This should get interesting.
