In New York City, it's not a "bacon egg and cheese" it's a "baconeggancheese." It's an entirely different delicacy. The best is when you can walk into a bodega and they already start making it because they know you, and they know what you like. That's peak New York to me. It's a city with many particularities. There's no city quite like it, and that is usually for the better, but sometimes for the worse.
There's no other city quite as loud, quite as busy, or quite as full-tilt as New York. You can leave the house and experience a thousand different lifetimes in the span of a couple of hours. You can try food from every international cuisine, see outfits you could have never imagined, and hear 10 different languages just by walking through a neighborhood or two. It's terribly exciting, and it's terribly meme-able. So whether you're a native New Yorker or just passing through, these memes give a good taste of the city that never sleeps.
