My name is Brooke. I live in New York City. Just because my blog has naked in the title doesn't mean i'm a perve. Promise.

My cab driver is old school. He uses a map.

Getting a taxi in NYC isn't like how they get them in the movies.  In the movies right when you put out your hand one swoops in all set and ready to get you. In reality you stand for about a good 5 minutes arms aching and full of bags and objects. Once in awhile you get the movie taxi and when you do it's awesome. But the rest of the time you get the good ol' NYC taxi. It's a big pot of joy.

I always seem to get in the taxi with the noob driver. It's so scary. Mine once got pulled over by a cop because he took a wrong turn. I wanted to get out so badly. Today i jumped into another taxi with a major noob driver. He drove like a demon, didn't know which way noho was and my favorite, he used a map. He said he " don't need no GPS" he had his handy dandy map. When he couldn't figure out how to get to noho I pulled it up on my phones gps. Lets just say I saved the day. One point for me.
