A New Yorker is someone who complains about the trains at rush hour, forgets that an accidental push from the person on the train beside them is not a declaration of war, and is so tired that getting a seat on the 1,3,4,5,6,A Train at 5:30pm is equivalent to winning a million dollars. In spite of this, they do not try to leave work at any later hour because a day without "rush hour on the trains" would not be a typical day in New York.
