I have no idea what language any of you people are speaking.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I can overlook sneering at DC and bad tiping advice. But bad writing bugs the hell out of me.
The penultimate New Yorker activity? Buy the Sunday NY Times late Saturday night; skim it, then lounge around early Sunday morning, with the paper -- and a pot of strong coffee -- in bed Sunday morning. Heavenly!
1. "Penultimate" does not mean "quintessential."
2. "...lounge around early Sunday morning [...] in bed Sunday morning."
3. I don't think it's a good idea to lounge around with a pot of coffee in your bed. Seems likely to result in burns in sensitive areas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Really, Strega, the only thing I can come up with to excuse "penultimate" is assuming tourists stay in hotels, and will need to check out by noon Sunday. Read the paper, do one more thing, then go.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The ultimate New Yorker activity? Checking out of a hotel!
