Speaking of my favorite East Coast city, Gridskipper has a great post about Overstated’s helpful San Francisco-New York neighborhood translation tool, where those of us who totally get that Marina is a bad word can learn to navigate NYC by our own prejudices about people who populate neighborhoods wearing shirts with foreign phrases like “phi beta” on them and when slumming it in the Mission, act as though they excrete swarovski-encrusted turds that smell like parfum. Oh, snap!
