I do this in many neighborhoods but the best quotes have come from the East Village for some reason. You always hear a fascinating range of topics as people pass, but in the form of only a sentence or two. I always find it incredible how much context can be conveyed within such few words.
my favorite quote so far:
“When someone who’s twelve years old shits his pants and you’re the only working staff, fuck yeah it’s fine to get the wheelbarrow.”
