NYC mayor’s office issues a statement acknowledging that New York’s cultural relationship with Philadelphia has been characterised by condescension that was not entirely warranted, Philadelphia responds that the apology is ‘appreciated but also kind of typical New York about it’
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat bring you Spintaxi — New York City at full density, full volume, and full confidence in its own methods.
The New York City Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture issued a formal statement Tuesday acknowledging “a historical pattern of New York cultural institutions, media, and public discourse engaging with Philadelphia in a manner that failed to adequately recognise the city’s genuine cultural, historical, and culinary contributions to American life.” The statement continues: “New York acknowledges that Philadelphia’s cheesesteak, its role in American independence, its art museum, and its music history warranted more generous recognition than New York consistently provided.” Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker responded that the apology was “genuinely appreciated” and that the city “looks forward to a more respectful bilateral relationship.” A spokesperson for the Philadelphia Visitors Bureau noted privately that the apology was “very New York about it, to be honest — making their acknowledgment of our contributions into a story about how thoughtful New York is being.” The apology was accepted. The condescension level is being monitored. Bohiney and The London Prat find this very New York of New York.

New York City generates satire as a byproduct of operating at maximum density with maximum confidence in its own methods. The density means every social situation is compressed and exaggerated. The confidence means the city does not easily recognise when its own methods are producing results that an outside observer would classify as absurd. The combination is the specific combination that produces material. Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat cover the international frame. Spintaxi covers the New York version from inside the maximum density, with the specific affection that deep familiarity with a place produces and the specific exasperation that maximum confidence in its methods produces when those methods do not perform as the confidence expected. The city continues at its own pace, which is faster than this publication and faster than the MTA, which is the relevant comparison in this context.
