Relatively Neutral About New York.' The creators of the shirt, who also happen to be the hilarious guys behind All My Friends Are Dead, have tapped into a sentiment that is shared by New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike. Sure, a lot of the hype is true--New York is a great city. But it's also kind of like a lot of cities, in a lot of places. In this hilarious send-up of the cult of New York, our savvy authors perform a comprehensive survey of what makes NYC just ok. From graphs (laughter by year, as stimulated by Saturday Night Live vs. Tickling) to games (match the slice of pizza with its city of origin---clue: they're all the same) to maps (alternative, more exciting, non-grid city plans for New York), this clever, whip-smart, fully illustrated book will appeal to everyone who has an opinion about New York. Which is, really, everyone.
