Metropolitan (yoga) Diary

From the NYTimes, Metropolitan Diary entry, Jan 11.

Only in New York, folks. Only in New York:

"Dear Diary:

In my yoga studio on West 72nd Street recently, the instructor reassured a newcomer, “Don’t worry, there are no Rockettes here.”

A woman in the front row piped up, a bit embarrassed but also trying to reassure in her own way, “Actually, I’m a Rockette.”

And then another called out, “So am I.”

Would any other city have forced that yoga teacher’s foot into his mouth?
