And the old Fulton St fish market,I could tell stories that would make people non fish eaters.:>):>):>)

I worked in the market for 7 years. Matter of fact many times I would bring the race car (Challenger) to work then leave to go to a race from there. When we won the Summernats. The next day I got to work late I told my boss he was lucky I was there at all.
The next week we won the Molson Grandnats. And I quit.

Smells like a fishy story to me.

All of the cat stories are pure bull****. Rats because of all the food garbage. I saw places in the subway where there were loads of garbage dumpsters that were ALIVE with rats.

I lived in Brooklyn for 50 years. The nonsense about Chinese restaurants killing and serving cats has been going on since the 19 century. There is not ONE instance of this being proven. Not one. When ever i hear this I ask "was this in the newspaper?" Often they say yes but can never produce a paper or a link of any sort to a news story.
The other response is "My cousin's brother's best friend's roommate was one that:
Cleaned it up and saw the cat carcasses
Knew the story
or some other BS.
I know the deal very well and it is nonsense.

Oh boy,now let me explain it to you.I lived in NYC a bit longer than you and from the time I was a kid that story was always said in a rhetorical way.It was never meant to be taken as fact.
Maybe it's just a culture thing between Manhattan and Brooklyn.I think Artie,who's a Brooklyn boy,saw it in the context I typed it in.
Anyway how about watching where you dove into the Hudson River?Had to be careful your head didn't get stuck in an old milk can.(That was another NYC urban legend).

Cats in Chinese restaurants are just another urban myth. But I did get a cup of pork stew from a bodega once and I found a piece of meat with hair attached I think it was rat.
Right now we are heading to Alaska for some reindeer sausage and some moose stew.
