   "New York City is the greatest city in the world," said 1 Herman. "I've been here my whole 2 life 3. We have the best of everything. We have 8 million 5 friendly 6 people. We have 10,000 friendly taxicab drivers. We have the world's greatest subway 7 system 8, even 9 on weekends when half the trains aren't running 10. We have the Brooklyn Bridge 11, the world's greatest bridge for walking and taking pictures. We have Grant's Tomb 12 and the Staten Island Ferry—they're both free 13! We have the world's best pizza because it's made 14 right here in NYC! We have I Love NY tee-shirts. We have everything! Who would 15 ever 4 want to go anywhere 16 else?" Maria said, "But there's a lot of other nice cities in the world. Maybe you should visit them to compare 17." Herman said, "Why should I visit other cities? People from those cities are visiting us. That just proves 18 how great NYC is!"
