I came across this fun blog when I was blogwalking the other day. So this blog is somehow manage to collect interesting one liners (or sentences or conversations) that other people overheard while walking on New York’s streets or while sipping coffee at Starbucks. The New Yorkers are very straight forward and confident people (from what I observed in the movies, ehehe) and they just say whatever they want. That what is interesting from this blog. I was very entertained I must say (reading all the interesting things that people say ^^).

I copied one of the posting here. The blog name is Overheard in New York and the link is here.
