Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

It's time for your morning six pack.

Speaker A:

And it's based on a ranking of cities that are romantic in America.

Speaker A:

Now, this is based on Google searches.

Speaker A:

New York City came in number one, which I guess makes sense.

Speaker A:

I mean, they've got all the big variety of restaurants, of course, and the skyline views, romantic walks and carriage rides, and the shared intimacy of paying $28 for a coffee and pretending that's normal.

Speaker A:

Nashville, Tennessee, came in second.

Speaker A:

Austin, Texas, third.

Speaker A:

Chicago, fourth.

Speaker A:

Number five was Jacksonville, Florida.

Speaker A:

That seems odd.

Speaker A:

When I think romance, my brain does not immediately go to Jacksonville Jaguars traffic and high humidity and some dude in cargo shorts asking about the shrimp basket.

Speaker A:

But I.

Speaker A:

This list is based on Google searches about romance, not actual romance.

Speaker A:

And I guess as I did a little Googling of Jacksonville, there's some waterfront restaurants, of course, and beaches and sunset cruises.

Speaker A:

That's all pretty legitimate, I guess.

Speaker A:

You know, you put the right person near water at sunset and it looks like a movie masterpiece.

Speaker A:

So I.

Speaker A:

Maybe.

Speaker A:

Maybe romance isn't really about Paris.

Speaker A:

Maybe it's about the effort.

Speaker A:

Maybe it's about wi fi.

Speaker A:

Strong enough to search romantic things near me to do while your partner's in the bathroom.

Speaker A:

But it's still kind of neat to see them rank the cities here.

Speaker A:

I would.

Speaker A:

I would guess that New York City folks even have their own pickup lines, as you can see with today's list of the top six pickup lines that only work in New York City.

Speaker B:

Best way to start your day.

Speaker B:

These six jokes.

Speaker B:

He's about to say.

Speaker B:

Listen up.

Speaker B:

For old head stack, crack open the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

Your morning six pack the top six pickup lines that work only in New York City.

Speaker A:

Number.

Speaker A:

Number six.

Speaker A:

What's a girl like you doing in a bodega like this?

Speaker A:

Number five.

Speaker A:

Is that a package of sanitary wipes for subway handles in your pocket?

Speaker A:

Are you just happy to see me?

Speaker A:

Number four.

Speaker A:

What do you say we make like a Jets draft picked after a season in the NFL and disappear?

Speaker A:

Number three.

Speaker A:

Girl, you're like the Statue of Liberty because I'll stand in line for hours to get in.

Speaker A:

Number two, Are you a ticket for public drunkenness at a Knicks championship parade?

Speaker A:

Because you.

Speaker A:

You've got thine written all over you.

Speaker B:

That's so bad.

Speaker A:

The number one pickup line that only works in New York City.

Speaker A:

We go together like a rat in a thin slice of pizza.
