A Few Random Things...

So I am finding out that New York has some very funny and odd laws, so I though I would take a moment to share them with you.

1. No sidewalk chalk here. It is considered vandalism. I have even heard a story of two 8 year old kids playing with chalk, and the neighbors calling the cops on them.
2. No honking your car horn. If you get caught honking your horn in certain neighborhood you could be issued a traffic violation from a police officer and have to pay a $350 fine.
3. You have to have a permit for everything. For instance, you can not go to a park and set up a table to do art or anything unless you have a permit
4. Please pick up after your dog. New Yorkers like their pets, but when they go to bathroom they must use the sidewalk. You can receive a fine, upwards of $1000 in certain areas of the city if you do not clean up after your pet.

These are just a few of the crazy things that I am learning about life in the city.
