SF never looks to New York for inspiration. San Francisto doesn't give a damn about NY.

P.S. could someone explain recycling to me? It took me 20 minutes to figure out what to do with the garbage from my lunch yesterday.
Hey, lefty. I get that you don't like SF. But, what city do you like?
Basically, almost everything goes into recycling or compost. The only thing to go into garbage is plastic bags because they get caught up the recycling machinery; all other plastic is fine. Then anything remotely compostable goes in the compost bin. So, you probably have something like 75% compost, 20% recycling, and 5% trash; or at least that's what I observe in my home and workplace.
Though it is exceptionally easy to put someone from San Francisco in a good mood, there are some caveats. When talking to a white person who lives in San Francisco, it is best not to bring up New York City. Though they live in a world class city, San Franciscans have a crippling inferiority complex about New York and even hinting at that will make them very sad or very defensive.
Fortunately, there is a fool-proof method for quickly returning the conversation to a positive, trust-building tone. No matter how much you have offended someone from San Francisco, you can always make them feel better by asking them how they feel about Southern California. They will instantly talk of how it is filled with crime, pollution, hegemonic culture, and the wrong kind of white people: “I swear California is like two separate countries, and I am so thankful that I live in the cultural center of the West Coast.” This will allow them to reassert their superiority and leave the conversation with a positive feeling about themselves and about you.
NYC is not perfect but it fits my personality.
I can't tell... is this a joke?
This thread seems a promising place to ask what I should do for fun this Sunday while I'm roaming the streets of SF by my lonesome. I'll be staying at the Hotel Palomar (Union Square?)
