What makes a New Yorker? Ed Koch once said that "to be a New Yorker you have to live here for six months, and if at the end of the six months you find you walk faster, talk faster, think faster, you're a New Yorker." R. L. Stine said that "a real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning." And David Bowie hinted that time was a factor, once saying, "I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange; I never thought I would be."

Christian Alberto right foh
He's very right. I'd given him the good old "fuck off before I break your jaw bro" if he tried to get me to stop and answer questions.
You're not a real New Yorker until you argue that New York is better than any city in the world.
every non-poor inhabitant of every city cultishly insists their city is the best city
"...until you see someone masterbate on the subway???" Dafuq....
__ __ im not from NYC and I already claim NYC as the best city in the world

You're not a New Yorker...if you don't have a New York accent from any of the five boroughs of New York City.
Ooopsy Daisy
Freddie Rivera Jersey got the accent Juuu kno so does Long Island and Weschester
@Christopher Fahey that's so disrespectful. There is no correlation between accents and your IQ. you are raised with an accent and you WORK towards your education. Anyone can be smart and have an accent. Take your disrespectful ass somewhere else.
@Christopher Fahey age has nothing to do with anything. That's not a fact. There is NO CORRELATION between the way you talk and your education. why should your accent (somethi bc you can't change) affect you in your daily life? It doesnt, you sound ignorant and that was disrespectful.
@Christopher Fahey Don't tell me where I'm from. Listen to my fact, understand it, comprehend it. Don't get pissed over an accent. Your wrong period
Me reply means in mad. In not mad in like this all the time pussy

Word
You're not a New Yorker until you had a bacon egg and cheese from the bodega
You're not a New Yorker unless you were born here. Besides, anyone who moves here is usually proud of where they come from. The only people desperate to be called New Yorkers are hipsters because they'll never be New Yorkers but they so want to be, coming from their midwestern homes. That's why they pay $3000 to live in Brooklyn. That doesn't make you a New Yorker - that makes you an imbecile.
My wife is from Chicago. She's been in NYC for 19 years. If you ask her, she'll tell you flat out she's a Chicagoan. She's just as proud being born in Chicago as I am being born in NYC.
does this count, I was born in Manhasset Ny(literally on the border between queens and nassau county) then I moved to Philly when I was a month old, then I moved to Queens when I was 13, and have lived there since
How do you feel about immigrant communities? Lol I've been here since age and I consider myself a New Yorker through and through.
Eff Yiew AGREED!! My family and I were born, raised and employed in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We are fierce New Yorkers down to the core of our collective being, LOL. Anybody else is a transplant.
Eff Yiew I consider the term New Yorker to be an insult. I would never want someone to call me that. *shudder*
Eff Yiew lol calm down
"I'm not a real New Yorker until you're born in NY"😂
You're not a real New Yorker until you had a hero sandwich, a slice, cheesecake, a bagel with cream cheese and grape jelly, take a bus or subway, lived in NYC for 10+ years, go to parties, cuss someone out, been to Brooklyn Museum and DGAF about anything!!!
LadyL31786 I dead hate it w grape jelly bro. I like it with bacon.
This video really touched me. Now that I live in Maine since I was 19 I'm 43 now. Born and raised New York will always be where I came from and I'm very proud
00:10 "until you born in NY" hahah deal with it
YOU'RE NOT A REAL NEW YORKER IF U WEREN'T RAISED IN NYC (period)

"You're not a real New Yorker until you've been killed by niko belic at least 4 times that the hospital doesn't care anymore"

Not much pride in living here. Everywhere is getting gentrified, NY is becoming a shell of its former self.

You're not a real New Yorker until you try almost every café on a block or street.
what? fuck is you talm bout?
Michael DeCicco what's a "cafe"?
Michael DeCicco you ma'am bodega or deli
i'm guessing you're not a new yorker
Nah, most of us are too broke to do that. Change that to a deli
Your not a real New Yorker if you haven’t hopped the train at least once in your life
Or ride between subway cars goin home.
your not a real New Yorker until you can identify every subway scam possible and know how to dodge it by simply closing your eyes. ie kids with candy bars. woman with babies strapped to their back holding signs. random ppl with musical instruments, & break dancers etc. after they walk by you just simply open your eyes.
That street entertainment thing is a choice if you want to give them something.
You're asking all the wrong people. Visit Spain?? Seriously? Nah...

You not a real New Yorker if you don’t have timberlands .
Manic Desires shit, I be wearing Wolverines
so even people in finland are REAL NEW YORKERS
#murica
I wore Timberlands in the 90s/early 2000s when they were considered ghetto. Now I see European & Asian tourists wearing them ( cause yo check me out I’m in nu yawk). Bitch please.
Timberland
Subsidiary
Industry Fashion
Founded 1918; 100 years ago
Nathan Swartz (July 1902 - ?) was a Russian-born American shoemaker and businessman, and the founder of The Timberland Company.
nigga get real, timberlands ARE white poeple shoes
New York sounds like a dump... with good pizza.
tyskbulle True, lol
...but New York today is actually a pretty "pleasant" place. A lot of the stuff they're describing, you aren't likely to experience as a tourist, you have to be living there. 20+ years ago was a very different story. These days, you go to Manhattan, even other boroughs, everything is pretty clean and safe. If you knew NYC of the 70s, or even NYC before Giuliani pushed all the homeless and the guys selling knockoff sunglasses and trashbags full of fake rolex watches out of Manhattan...it's crazy how different it is. But one change that breaks my heart is what developers are trying to do to Coney Island. That's a sin!
melissa saint agreed! especially with coney island. I used to go every Friday when I was little.
Dude New York is a dump trash and rats everywhere even in Manhattan near time square
Not to mention the smell....... it’s like urine and dead people
It’s all good we don’t need you here
tyskbulle BUT ITS NOT I SWEAR
1:10 she isn't a real new Yorker yet
Yee Haw bagel with a cream cheese? Lol
Ive had a bagel from the cream cheese, I am Canadian but I guess Im basically a new yorker now

Different bagel, doesn't count
Your not a real New Yorker until you been living somewhere for 12+ years a get kicked out due to gentrification taking over Bedstuy from do or die to poodles and outdoor coffee shops.

Until you're Native American.

YEEES
Native Americans didn’t create New York the real new Yorkers were the dutch they named it New Amsterdam then it later switched to new york

Your not a real Newyorker unless you know the slang of NY,born in NY,and know events that happened in NY

I contracted hep c after I lived in one of the dumpsters behind MetLife stadium for 4 days with the Mucinex blob where we survived eating large bricks of white chocolate and now I'm getting a key to the city next month from Mike Piazza
You must be born and raised in New York to be a real NEW YORKER !!! Period !!!
This is NOT a spam message RUclips so don’t remove please!
In my RUclips analytics I see one of my videos gets suggested by this video, how this works I have no clue but I am thankful and grateful so I’m here to like sub and comment to show my appreciation!
1:19 Nobody from America has ever been to Spain.

Thank you, I was aware of that.

I was in NY once for about a week... and I've acually stepped on a mouse in China town.
Your not a real New Yorker if you haven’t visited Bay Academy Middle School, Mark Twain Middle School, Brooklyn/Staten Island Tech, and Stuyvesant High.
A couple of them had it right. Here's something . . . The last Real New Yorkers were born here in the 80's and made it through the grind and grime of the 80s and 90s. That boat has sailed.
theOC
Yeah New York lost it's soul when Giuliani turned Times Square into Disneyland. Most of these hipsters would have never stepped foot in the real New York. But know they all claim to be New Yorker's SMH.
theOC FACTSS THIS TO ACCURATE
What's 'real newyorker' or do you mean the stereotypical newyorker?
You're not a real New Yorker when you don't own a pair of timbs
Ricoojessayy What are timbs?
From what everyone is saying, it honestly sounds like a shit hole.
You are not a real NYer until there is something so overwhelmingly wonderful about this place that makes you get choked up about it. And you could not imagine being without it.
the last but the greatest answer
Sounds like New York's subway is a big deal.
Yeah I’ve lived in Manhattan my entire life (but tbh I’m in eighth grade) and I can tell a New Yorker from a tourist automatically. If they’re staring at the sky scrapers like it’s God’s newest creation? Tourist. If they’re wearing a thin Patagonia jacket in the middle of winter? Tourist for sure. If they’re asian and carrying 7 bags of supreme? Yeah. Tourist.
0:59 This is SO true for me!!! 😂😂 Being born and raised in NY, while studying at a college in the Philippines; almost every pizza I ate there didn't reach my standards.
(Closest NY pizza style/taste I got was Sabarro and S&R)
As a native of NYC, I’m curious as to how many interactions that began with “What makes a real New Yorker” were met with the answer “blow me”?
You're a New Yorker until you pronounce coffee CORFEEE
orangeedo it's not pronounced "CORFEE" it's "CAWFEE"
that white girls voice was deep with an accent, I love it😂👌♥️
That man is spot on about which car to get into the subway that’s right next to the exit.
Biking across the brooklyn bridge is legit the most tourist-y thing to do in new york
Thanks, I don't want to be a New Yorker anyways.
Nick Kunwar bro as a New Yorker ... it ain’t worth it 😂😭💀
Yeah, get yo deadass outtaa here
Fuck yeah 😂
HAHAHAH
@@greenkittys3037 yo where you from nobody uses deadass in that sentence not even niggas from outta state
lol when my little brother was 9 he went to union square during our vacation and beat a guy in chess
You're not a real new yorker until you're paying 2 grand a month for a closet with a bed.
My mother was born and grew up in the Bronx until she was 17 when she moved to California for college. We went back for a trip during the summer and she waded through those massive midtown crowds like a salmon. She never lost it. PS she worked hard to lose her accent once she moved out to CA but when I really pissed her off she would bring out her Bronx side and it legit scared me. New Yorkers do not goof around.
I love New Yorkers!
Just read all the comments here. I guess if you live there you're REAL enough. But what the fu## do I know. Grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950's and 60's. Can remember when the Daily News was 5 cents, the subway was 15 cents and a slice of pizza was 15 cents (a whole pie was $1.25). You guys are swell.
I’m a frequent visitor to NY and have adapted and experienced much of its culture and lifestyle. And have several friends there. So I’m an honorary New Yorker but I’m still Manileño!
You're not a real New Yorker until you take a sh*t in middle of Time Square

You're not a real New Yorker until you do shrooms at a club in Williamsburg and dance until 5 am.

You're not a real New Yorker until you can convincingly communicate to a videographer that we are grateful to be out here and we are grateful that you are there.
"One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years" - Tom Wolfe
This is a city for everyone, fuck people who say you had to be born here. Immigrants often love it far more than native New Yorkers - because they actually chose to live here.
Na, no New Yorker was born and raised in Wisconsin my nigga
all of america are immigrants
bishplis .....if that's the case then everyone in the world is an "immigrant". (Nations have been conquering other nations since the beginning of time). Americans took this land by force, that's not called immigration, that's called conquest.
us army cant even beat vietnam, you dumb shits think you could handle germany? and now you think you can handle china russia or korea? better call the french again. the french dont fuck around
you understand that there is no such as "american dna" you understand white europeans bred the usa full of people and the spanish bred mexico into existence
you understand there were NO BLACK PEOPLE IN THE BAHAMAS RIGHt?
youve been to school riight?
you're not a new yorker til you talk shit and scare non new yorkers about how horrible nyc is but if tHEY talk shit about ny you haVE TO FIGHT THEM and protect how great it is
I used to do that
I never call the store the bodega it’s either the store or corner store
i go to school just in union square and the guy who said the thing about being cussed out is a chess hustler who i frequently play against. it’s good to see him.
Sounds like living in New York sucks
It’s the greatest shitty thing you can ever do
Guy Smiley yup
This is one of the best shitty places you can ever live in lol
Yea its like a high class dumpster
@@dorothy1470 lol
I don't understand New York's appeal. Dirty, crowded, expensive, it's like do you want to live in a shity, run down, over crowded, amusement park with no rides? ...um no thanks I'm good
michael cook I've gone up and down the east coast and the Midwest. Understand this... in New York there is always something to do, people to meet. It's not just another city, it's THE city, fucking crowded there's just so much to do, all types of people. Here you meet the strange and the kind... and the assholes
21Sandoval yeah... it's not 1950, that's literaly every major city. Minus the illusion of being "THE city."
+ 21Sandoval
yeah you think paris STOPS at 11pm or something? jesus fuck get out more
The appeal is the business capital of the world.. entertainment music fashion a whole network is here in NYC.. most of the style and lingo comes from NY. It's the underworld the mob gangs politicians all organized to get one thing that dollar bill.. then everything falls down to the streets. Growing up here in the 80s early 90s was gritty and dirty. You couldn't have nice things cause no jobs and streets was dangerous. If you stood out you got robbed and high chance of getting killed from a crackhead with a gun. Ppl lived here but felt like we survived out here during those times. But now it's cleaner than before and safer.
Just opposite
that last one really got it good
Sounds like the real dream
You're not a real New Yorker Until you realize New York is a dump now and you move somewhere else!
New York is still an amazing place. Why would I move?
Honestly how could you live in a filthy over polluted, expensive, rat infested place not to mention the crime there
And there fucking brick apartments looking like shit come on this ain’t the 1920s
A real New Yorker is from NY people who moved to NY are not
I’m with the last guy. We really wouldn’t stop to answer that question.
You’re not a real New Yorker unless you were born here.
at 1:04 at first I thought she looked hot until I heard her voice. like what the hell? sounded like either she's been smoking for 87 years or she's a dude.
Nah she's just a New York woman
M3S was going to roast her but is seems that you got the job done 😂😂😎🙂😋
Hahahaha get the fuck outta here
I thought her voice was cool af. really unique
Nah she sound like a Latino mom from the Bronx
youre not a real new yorker until you collect food from garbage bags on the street because you got evicted for not referring to your neighbor by her preferred pronoun.
Nah. Thats just broke people problems
the ride the bike across the brooklyn bridge lady was so cute aw
The last guy know what's up
Sorry but I don't understand the undercurrent of pride in their answers of why they are real New Yorkers. Almost everything that's being described as a criteria for being a real new yorker is disgusting. I would never in my life want to be a real New Yorker even if you paid me to live there. I lived in LI for ~5 yrs and that truly is a beautiful place to be able to have lived at.
shreetron. You dont get it. A real NYer is tough and isnt phased by the events listed.
Again, I don't feel like there is anything to "get" here. To be honest with you, if not being phased by events around you - which I read as not being affected, influenced or molded by the events around you is being a real NYer, then I find that to be a pretty defeated and vacuous sense of identity for a NYer. I would rather want to be shaped by on-goings around me and if possible, even try to leave a memorable footprint through interacting and participating in my community. Otherwise, what's the point in choosing to live a "tough" life?
LI as in Long Island, which is in New York? So you're a New Yorker then?
Amberley Canegitta yeah, that's a part of New York too.
@@shreedhar333 yup i feel like ny people put themselves in a box to much... then they want to come to la and talk shit about nothing
You're not a real New Yorker until your next door neighbor mugs you. Why am I getting notified of this?
You’re not a real New Yorker until you realize no matter how much you hate New York, you never could imagine life elsewhere.
You're not a real new yorker until you know it's subway system by heart
I was born and raised in the Washington,D.C area, but I would visit New York where my dad's German and Irish and my mom's Italian and Irish family lived. 20+ times a year sometimes. Always felt like home. Glad it is now. Nobody better claim i'm not a new yorker.
I think the important part of this that was missing is you're not a New Yorker until everything said above doesn't matter to you. Been living here my whole life and I've hardly experienced anything in the video, BUT if I did have to experience it in the future, I would most likely be unfazed, not even a story to tell anyone, and most definitely never stop for an interview that's just gonna be on RUclips.
Didn't experience much in la because Didn't really think much but NY gave me the full force
My cousin has lived in NYC for the last 23 years and has only rode the subway once
the train car is so true
