The Disconnection: Encounters with Strangers
http://cityencounters.blogspot.com
Thousands of people live in NYC and almost all of them are crazy. I seem to be a magnet for madness so I decided I needed to share my encounters with strangers--from insane subway episodes to getting yelled at by bums. Now my friends from across the world are telling their tales, as well. Enjoy.

Praise Jesus--and have a drink
I'm not one of those NY'ers who drool over Fashion Week events, although I am not one to turn down a chance for free food/drink either! Speaking of free, I had the chance to help out at a FW event in Time Warner Center a week ago. It wasn't the most ...

FANTASTIC blog idea. Really needs to be done. I moved from NYC about a year ago and always felt like just the regular joes were not so regular. Granted, I was dealing with a rare quantity of madness (psychiatry resident in the Village) and always felt like I never left the ward, even when walking outside! haha. keep the stories coming. Really entertaining...

Hi Nubia :)
As a forma Noo Yawka I really identify with your blog and I LOVED the way you described your subway adventure with the great Rubik's Cube Champ, Mihn Thai. Count me as a neighbor who will be visiting again.
