Kathy Hochul tells reporters that congestion pricing would increase "the cost of a piece of pizza" x.com/Newyorkist/s... 75
did she say piece instead of slice? why don’t NY pols understand pizza 2
She sure did! I'm seeing a lot of disgust from New Yorkers in my mentions over that 1
To be fair, "piece" is normal in Western NY which is where she's from 6 7
Yeah but we don't need to be fair. 2 32
And nobody's proposing congestion pricing for Skaneateles. 11
She is welcome to unpause congestion pricing and then return there 5
Yet Western NY is not normal so 2
I'm in Western NY and I've always heard and used slice. 2 2
Hi, that's nice. Born and raised here, too, and I've usually called them slices. Of all the things the governor is doing and saying, using a local phrase about pizza is the least offensive. 4
My husband ate pizza with a fork in Brooklyn and so we can never go back. 5 1 54
Actually the NYS legislature passed an amnesty in 2019, so you may be ok. 1 6
Ooooo thank you for the clearance!! I miss NY 3
He's still welcomed in France. 1 3
He will be happy to hear of this development 1 1
Eat with your HANDS? Mon dieu! 1 1
Also to go coffee? And eating standing? None of these things will do in France 1 1

With just a fork, like a weirdo? Or with a fork and a knife, like a civilized weirdo? 2 3
He has confirmed just a fork. So normal everyday weirdo. 1 3
I have blocked the details from my memory and can’t recall. 2
Thank you, but it is not “normal” anywhere. That kind of shook me up when I first heard it.
To be fair, “piece of shit” pizza accurately describes all that I’ve had in western NY. Hell, even VT figured it out by 2005 or so.
