Roz and Emily sound like two transplants trying to convince lifelong NYers that they’re legit because they know how to pronounce and spell “Kosciusko” correctly.

Roz Chast was born and raised in Brooklyn, is a famous cartoonist, and a nice lady.

I think he’s actually validating it in a way, because you see a lot of transplants over compensate by trying to correct pronunciations and going OD on ny stereotypes like bodegas, timbs, etc

If you don’t fit the stereotype, you’re often branded a transplant. I’ve had a number of people guess I’m from Westchester or Ohio or some shit just because I’m a white dude that doesn’t walk around with a fitted and timbs despite being born here.

Annoying but most people are superficial like that or just too lazy to get to know someone.

People coming to NY and trying food is a good thing for local businesses despite the hater narrative you’re brainwashed to think is normal to repeat like a parrot. If this article helps a small businesses attract new customers, good on roz and Emily.

I lived off the fucking J train for a while when the new cars with automated announcements came about. That's the only reason I know how to pronounce it. On the old cars where a person made announcements it was always Kahz-e-os-ko
