just a little off topic but you being born and raised in NYC I have to tell it.....my brother meets all kinds of people thru his sales....once, he was with a client in NYC, Jewish guy, and this Jewish guy says to my brother....that he was the best kind of Jew...oh, what kind of Jew is that? my brother asks....”a NYC Jew”! the fellow said emphatically....lol
