About this ebook
“Insights on love, pleasure, fate, and other topics” collected from conversations with New York City cabbies (AM New York).
The worse a town’s economy is, the better looking the guys who work at the local gas station are.
I see more of what is going on around me because I am not concerned with finding a parking place.
There is no chivalry. For that you have to go upstate.
Real taxi drivers know more than how to get you there without a GPS—often, they know how to get you there in life. This twentieth anniversary edition of the wise and hilarious classic, as true now as ever, is a celebration of the witty, philosophical perspective on human nature culled from real quotations from real cab drivers who’ve been around the block.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A couple funny quotes. Mostly made my laugh because it brought my own memories of NYC cab drivers.
Wouldn't go out of my way to find it - but it's like a coffee table book, you'll flip through it in a few minutes. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is more than pictures. It has great little facts about living your life and it has some basic truths/observations that taxi drivers have seen/made on their drives through New York City. Of course these truths are everywhere and it is the taxi driver who is shedding light on the truths through some very basic ideas that anyone can understand.
