Overheard in New York (humor)

REVIEWED BY: Ms. Cairo

MY RECOMMENDATION: YES

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Overheard in New York

WEB ADDRESS: http://overheardinnewyork.com/

BLOG DESCRIPTION: Whether it's on the 6 Train, in Soho, or Manhattan, New York is talking and we want to listen in on the conversation. These reader-submitted quotes are sometimes funny, sometimes provocative, sometimes sad, but always entertaining.

MY REVIEW: At 99 cents, this blog is worth subscribing to. It's pretty fun. People send in quotes of things they've heard - presumably in New York. Of course, since it's all viewer-based, you don't really know if these are really things people have said, or if someone's made it up and sent it in. Still, some of them are funny. Some are interesting.

A sample:
