That used to depend on whether you walked on Columbus/Amsterdam or West End Ave! But on West End you were just as likely to see the walker with a Pekingese dog.
Sort of like today. Some young couples prefer dog(s). Let's call them DIPSs (double income, pooper scooper).
Its absolutely amazing how Columbus Avenue (and to a slightly lesser extent, Amsterdam), changed overnight from middle class to slum in the 1950s (a disturbing trend now going on in parts of my neighborhood) and, just as rapidly, to one of the most expensive areas in the city in the 1980s. Its gotten to the point that all of Broadway is Yuppified up to about 120th Street.

New York Magazine once referred to these people as DINKS (Double Income, No Kids).
Only about 30% of kids in Kindergarden in NYC are white.
In fact, I would gather that 1/2 are immigrants or children thereof. How is assimilation possible in NYC public schools?
