meth?

I think its the air quality. I tend to smoke a lot more weed and cigarettes when I am there which certainly contributes. And the scabies infested couches.

Certainly couldn't be the water, since my NYC aunt likes to inform me is SO PURE that it makes NYC food taste better than ANYWHERE ELSE!

my NYC-raised roommate does that about the fucking water too.

Restaurants and bakeries operated under Orthodox Jewish law were advised to filter New York City tap water to ensure purity. Federal regulations don't require New York City water to be filtered as it has some of the purest municipal water in the world. However, an inspection of city water came back with some unsettling results for Orthodox Jews – tiny creatures called copepods.

The little organisms are crustaceans and therefore not considered kosher. Although copepods, according to the city Department of Environmental Protection are harmless, the eating of crustaceans is prohibited under kosher low.

As a result of this news, the Central Rabbinical Council stated, "We have given out a ruling that they should filter their water," said the council's Rabbi Yitzchok Glick. "We are still in the middle of deliberations about exactly the issues and the Jewish law."

only new yotk could have seamonkeys in its water

that makes sense -- God said, "don't eat crustaceans." He made no distinction b/w harmful ones and harmless ones!
