Favorite conversation with a stranger while in NYC:
Me, to irritable bartender: 'Do you know where the new Apple store is?'
Irritable bartender, with abundant certainty: 'Pff, yeah, corner of 59th and Lexington.'
Me, confused by his certainty: 'Really? You sure?'
Irritable bartender, irritated: 'Yeah, what did I say? 59th and Lexington. [sarcastically] Ask me one more time.'
Me, asking one more time: 'You're sure?'
Bartender, ready to jump over the counter and strangle me, and showing his anger: '59th and Lexington.'
The funny thing is that it wasn't there. But we didn't find that out right away because the cab driver knew better. This photo is of a cab, from a cab.
