YEP, New York is the only place you'd probably die from drinking their own tap water. LOL
I remember how NYC's borders are stretched because of Garbage, Hence it's a garbage city. It's nothing to brag about.
Their drinking water source, I believe, is way up in the Catskill Mountains. Don't confue the East River with drinking water.
New York City has some of the best tap water in the country. Pure, fresh, naturally filtered mountain water that travels from the Catskills to the city in a Roman-style aqueduct. People who buy bottled water in NYC are idiotic ;-)

but what about all the radioactive contaminants & pharmaceuticals found in the drinking water last year?
My Dad, who was born in 1919, used to say, "You can take the boy out of NY, but you will never take NY out of the boy". That is what is really meant by a NY State of Mind.
From my experiences, a NY state of mind is being very arrogant, cocky, in your face, rude, loud, obnoxious, and pushy. One New Yorker once told me that, beyond the Hudson River, nothing matters.....and if you're not from NY, you don't matter.

Bingo!
Slight adjustment though - nothing matters beyond the Hudson except for LAX and South Florida!
I feel bad for all these people having to live somewhere other than NYC. You can sense there jelousy of us. Listen, none of you matter, nor does you backwater hillbilly town in nowhere land.

It's not about that at all. Have you even listened to the lyrics?
