Because we all love to see cute pics of dogs riding the New York City subway, here is a couple sent to use from Brooklynite Nancy J. Cook of her cute, well-behaved pup barely contained in a small bag on a recent journey.

This cartoon by illustrator Jim Benton for the New Yorker is a pretty accurate description of what it is like to walk anywhere in the tourist-filled parts of Manhattan.

"And to make it more authentic, the faster you try to walk, the more tourists will come and stand in your way."
