Eavesdropping From Far Away

As a former Manhattanite who's always amused to hear the odd things passersby say, I'm delighted to find Overheard in New York. Here's something I overheard in NYC many years ago, something I never forgot:

I was walking west on East 10th Street from University Place. As a couple walked past me, the man said to the woman,

"She pays her bills with psychic checks."

I'd love to create a site called Overheard in Sarasota, but I never hear people saying anything interesting in this town. Sad, isn't it.

Dan Meth's Smart-Ass Guide to New York City

As a former Manhattanite whose heart is still there, I love Dan Meth's smart and smartass interactive animated cartoon about The Big Apple. Since I used to live just a short walk from the East Village, and did most of my food shopping there, I clicked on that part first. As my mother said upon seeing Dan's smartass guide, "Any time you miss New York, you can watch this."
