Only Ethnics Need Apply
One of my co-workers has been looking for a new apartment for a few weeks. She finally found one on Third Street and Second Avenue (!!!).
She's going through all the nonsensical paperwork and hoops that landlords make you do, but seemed a little iffy on moving to Third Street, especially since last week she wanted the Upper West Side.
"What's wrong with Third Street?" I asked. "That neighborhood is awesome."
My co-worker, who grew up in Illinois, replied, "I don't know. I don't think I'm hip and ethnic enough to live there."
Classic.
