Recession Special

I visited New York City this weekend, and I don't like a lot of things about the city but I have always been interested in its own peculiar vocabulary. Here are just a few of my favorite words, for the benefit of those of who haven't had a chance to learn:

Papaya = a place to get a hot dog
Bills = posters you're not allowed to put up on construction scaffolding
Village = a neighborhood where wealthy young people can imagine they are part of a struggling grassroots community
