You know you're a NYer if you knew that if there was a Mr.Softee truck standing outside WTC back in the day, you weren't buying icecream because he most likely sold you weed and whatnots!

On the other hand, you're a real New Yorker if you know that the one on 6 Avenue in the Village is the one everyone else is imitating.

You know you are a Nyer if during the summer you grabbed the neighborhood kids to pose as a parent and score a free lunch at school.

You know you are a NYer if you call the fire hydrant a johnny pump and even one better, you get the FDNY (obviously dad or neighbor had connections) to open it for you during a super hot summer day. I miss those days

Wasn't the original Rays pizza started by an Egyptian immigrant?

You know you're a New Yorker if you don't have to have ringolevio, potsie, or stoopball explained to you.
