In NYC everyone is an alpha male...or at least everyone looking to get a cab (even girls).

I saw one guy threaten to kick the shit out of a girl who scooped his cab as the cabbie was driving away with her in it.

Half of the cabbies leave their lights on even when they are out of service.

After waiting for a cab a while (feeling a bit rejected) on my way in I thought something needed changing. A lady said I was best off if I was on the other side of the block where the traffic was coming from so I could get cabbies from that corner before they crossed the street full of passengers. I quickly scored a cab and that was that.

Later on...At late night time if you are in Manhattan late at night it is nearly impossible to get a cab to Brooklyn unless you get a bunch of people to jump in the cab before you tell the cabbie where you are going.
