    I believe you're thinking of "fer-ners."

    Try talking to your landlord/neighbor/mail carrier/livery cab driver/deli man//dry cleaner/person next to you on the subway/every fourth person on the sidewalk.

    It's practically impossible not to meet "foreigners", which, with the possible exception of yuppies, is IMO a good thing.

    cvarrick,,, your reply was just the most true and funniest at the same time!

    I am gonna try your suggestion... it is far cheaper than traveling to Europe especially considering how high the Euro is.

    is foreigner code for people from Manhattan?

    If so, I have no interest.

    Amen. My neighbors are from Ireland, my drycleaner people are from Korea, my colleagues from Puerto Rico, and my barber from Russia.

    could be worse. I could be a man U fan.

    or it could be much worse. I could be a spurs fan.

    agreed .. Man Yoo sc*m ... lol

    still ... right now it might be better than being a fan of my team !

    Saw Arsenal beat Liverpool 1 - 0 (Gilberto ) at the Milen. Stadium a couple of years back ... not a great game ... this side looks more exciting to watch ...

    No, Man U fan would be worse than Spurs. Man, did we kick Chelsea's ass today!

    indeed we did. although there is nothing worse than a spurs fan. all us park slope premiere league fans should go to a bar together in Park Slope somehwere (black sheep?) and beat the crap out of each other.

    Looks like you met a bunch of Brits already! Congratulations. Speaking of which, there is a nice little club for Spurs fans not too far away although I have no idea how you have managed to NOT meet foreigners.

    So true! I just had a wonderful ride to the airport last week with a driver that was from Egypt and spoke 4 languages fluently :shock:
    He was really great and told me all about his travels.

    OK, let me have my 2 cents in this too.

    Here is not very exotic but interesting club I have belonged to for years. I don’t attend too many get-togethers, but the ones I did were great.

    Europeans living in NYC. Get-togethers are from wine tasting, tango dancing, serious networking to just silly fun.

    You could try Barbes on 9th St for Europeans; French-owned and its laidback continental cafe (as in going-for-a-drink cafe) atmosphere attracts a lot of Euro Slopers.

    Agreed. I like Barbes a lot, but wish it were larger. I confess the last time I went, I had to leave because the back room and end of the bar smelled like pee.
