Default You become a master of the short-con.

When you're only friendly if you want something from the other person (and something immediate...we're not talking long-con here...), then, the very second you get whatever it is, your facial expression changes and your attitude is like "So what are you hangin' around for? I'm through with you."

Then put about 2 inches of ice cold Whole Milk into the glass
Squirt ice cold seltzer in- using as much pressure possible
(this generates the creamy white foam,w/o blowing it all over the place
Fill it until the foam is about 1 inch below the top of the glass >>
>>if its done right, the foam should be creamy and white as snow with a distictive bumpy texture=
Practice, practice,practice- -those old time seltzer spickets are tricky
You want a thin stream/high pressure
Pour the chocolate syrup thru the center of the white foam,until the foam rises just above the rim- - - Mix with a long spoon-so the bowl of the spoon is at the bottom of the glass- -

*I remembered some of this but I got help from the internet* I wouldnt attempt to screw up such a great creation- - go to the professionals

I recommend Gem Spa,s on 2nd ave/ St.Marks place >Lower East Side-its been there long time- - Man,its been awhile!

you know your from new york, when u over-exaggerate your accent(by just a little bit) when talking out of state, because you know the person your talking to will be impressed. That person will ask you- are you from new york? and you will gladly respond yes, since you know that person got all their information about new york from famous movies and tv shows; you'll feel like a ,almost but not quite celebrity.>>>>>>>>>>>nyers know what im talking about lol

You know you're a New Yorker when you can diss another borough all day long...but the moment someone from out of town makes a derogatory comment about that same borough, you're offended to the very depths of your soul.

You are quite correct: I have been in many parts of California, and when I meet people and tell them that I am from NY, they look at me with a bewildering look in their faces, and they have a smiling face on, some times I get confused, and I think that they are flirting with me ...... ..........they seem to place New Yorkers in a pedestal...........I guess it must be because we are so smart............and can think fast.........

*When a singing homeless person playing a wooden trumpet with no right arm annoys you because he interrupted your nap on the 5 train
*When you are happy because you found a muni meter that gives you a 1/2 hour for $0.25
*When you know that if you live in the outer burroughs that Manhattan is known as "The City"
*When The President is in town and you automatically think about all the unecessary traffic that is about to happen
*When someone else is reading a magazine on the train and you get mad because you didnt finish reading the last page
*When you get so mad at McDonalds because you have to pay $0.15 for a extra sauce because you didn't buy nuggets but you just paid $9.00 for your small value meal
