Why do poor NY'ers live longer than else where in the country? Because they have to WALK in this City. To from the subway, the corner store, the newsstand, restaurants, movies, etc., etc. Walking is the easiest and the healthiest exercise!
That is unless you're from SI which means your sitting behind the wheel of a car!

NYCFC, New York's MLS team that plays in Yankee Stadium, tied the Chicago Fire at a scoreless 0-0.
I know Major League Soccer is new to this country, but it deserves to be on the scoreboard, just like the rest of 'em.

Just re-read your comment…You're a Brooklyn teacher??? Maybe you should have re-read my initial comment before you decided to make a flag waving, self-righteous attack.
Please note my last line …"Both forms of fine dining are correct and both are a good thing."
Also please note my main point that criticism of how one eats pizza is "a nonsensical idea".

When are we going to get serious about our presidential elections? What difference does it make whether a candidate eats fried cheese curds, matzah brei, hot dogs or pizza and whether their technique passes muster (or mustard)? Our news commentators are all starting to resemble Rosanne Rosanadana. The questions they ask the candidates seem more designed to create amusing headlines than to inform the electorate. It's bad enough that we have in Trump and Cruz two of the worst candidates ever. Does the news media have to match them in silliness? It's no wonder that so many voters lack interest in long term consequences of the election.

Join peace activists at Thursday's debate in Brooklyn to urge the candidates to address the injustice of the bloated US defense budget and continuing war mentality.

Those of us who watched the bait and switch on Long Island College Hospital, now sold to developers despite community protests; have been watching as a real-estate excrescence has risen between the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and the Brooklyn Bridge and now, increasingly, as it rises, between the Promenade and the Empire State Building; who know that our Brooklyn Public Library system has money aplenty but whose director has gone along with the destruction of the Cadman Plaza library; those of us who know that Bill de Blasio and at least half the City Council, as well as the said library director, are all advised by a public relations firm that has been raking money in hand over fist -- all of us have been hoping that Mr. de Blasio and his cronies -- ah, one means, his administration -- are investigated soon, and thoroughly.
And aren't our heads spinning over his lightning-fast turn-around on the new water tunnel meant to bring water to our biggest borough, not to mention Queens as well?
And that's just the shenanigans in Brooklyn. Of which, of course, there are many more.

Ever been to Naples, Southern Italy? The "birthplace" of pizza. It is very common to eat this delicious staple with a knife and fork. So stop supporting the nonsensical idea that it's bad form.
The "New York Fold" and eating this food with your hands began in the U.S.
Both forms of fine dining are correct and both are "a good thing".

But we are IN New York. The custom HERE is different. It doesn't matter what the custom is in Italy, even if they did invent pizza.
And these candidates are trying to sway voters here, not in Italy, by the way.

At Famous Ray's Pizza in the village - the original one - it has ALWAYs been acceptable to eat their pizza with a fork and knife. So there!
Tickets, hard to come by in NY?? Never.
Sorry. Still not buying that Bernie Sanders is a New Yorker, no matter how many photos you print. Has a Brooklyn accent? --Big Whoop. He's not even a Resident of the State. Besides, he takes more swipes than a Metro Card.
Just sayin;.....

Phillies phooey Mets
1. Richard Nixon: I am not a crook
2. Pres. Obama: “I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the F.B.I. [as to Clinton e-mails]” NYTimes
“she would never intentionally do anything to endanger the country.” NY Times
The President who is championing the Trans Pacific Partnership, the worst trade deal ever, is now championing HRC.
3. President Carter says Hillary Clinton “took very little action” as secretary of State to bring about peace.”
So much for qualifications and experience. HRC was too busy making war and taking care of donors to the Clinton Foundation to spend any time on that minor issue of peace.

I see uninformed comments like timshel's and I can only say thank goodness for superdelegates.

Timeshel, you may not share her politics or like her decisions, but I don't think there's any arguing Hillary Clinton's wide breadth of experience.
Sciencewins, you had me until the super delegates part.

Thanks for your post.
tune of “Moonlight in Vermont”
- [as Donald Trump tries to convince voters that he’s the only real New Yorker]
Tokens in a slot
Mem’ries from so long ago -
Bernie’s from Vermont
Rallies out in Kings
Visits his ex-neighborhood -
Bernie’s from Vermont
Kasich’s smart-phone, it lights up to help him
Contend with each fork in the road
Hil wants you thinking she’s just a New Yorker
But watch when she swipes on the subway
Selfies on the train
Ted claims he loves matzoh brei
(Oh, and - ) Bernie’s from Vermont
I’m from here and Bernie’s from Vermont

Bernie felt the burn of his subway token fib, and Hillary's empty gesture caused "static" to block her entry.
I understand that candidates want to rub elbows with the common man - eating hot dogs and pizza, etc. But really, why should we expect them to be riding the subways?
At least Trump isn't making those pretenses - he's proud of his private jets and limousines. And, apparently, his hair.

Bernie is forgetting that you always sit on the outer end of a booth so that some clown does not decide to sit down and share the seat with you. It's also easier to talk with the waitress.
It will all come back to him in a day or two.

Kasich also needs to learn that not only do you eat a slice by hand, but you fold the slice and eat it with one hand.
If he eats a slice unfolded, using two hands as if he were eating a floor tile, he will look more foolish to us than he did with the fork.

That's great advice for anyone, BIlly!
“No Fork, No Fork”
Sort-of to tune of Theme from New York, New York
Stop cuttin' your food
Don’t eat it that way
Try pickin’ up and holdin’ it
No fork! No fork!
Don’t mean to be rude
You’re such a cliché
Look, watch the way we’re foldin’ it
No fork! No fork!
You gotta take it
In one hand and just take a bite
So put that silverware down
You’ll get it right
It isn’t that crude
So hear what I say
If you want to be sold in it
I mean New York
Then please take our advice
When you get served a slice
We’ll say it twice – No fork! No fork!

2 for the price of one, today, Freddie, and both showcasing your characteristically clever and amusing lyrics set to the tune of classic melodies. And of course, the incredible turn-around time in which you compose these daily ditties...thank you!

Addendum: HRC intentionally just created the mis-impression that most of the guns used in violence in New York come from Vermont. She slyly used the per capita figure and Vermont with its small population seemed to be a huge source of guns for NY. In the meantime, in 2014, only 55 out of the 4,585 guns coming from outside New York came from Vermont. If you knowingly create a mis-impression in an another person';s mind you are a liar. HRC just showed what a liar she is.
See http://hotair.com/archives/2016/04/11/clinton-attacks-sanders-on-guns/ for the whole story.
Then add HRC's racially insensitive remarks at the Inner Circle you get a big change in the political winds. Watch HRC go down in flanes in NY.
