Here's a great New York story. That's one of the best things about the tubal interwebs -- the way in which its now so much easier to find these wonderful stories. I lived in and around NYC for over half my life and I never heard that before, about vendors outside the Met holding suitcases.
Here's a whole lot of great Vegas stories. Wil Wheaton's not covering the WSOP this year. Pauly's stories don't have the charm and offhand brilliance that the best of Wheaton's do but they have more insane profane energy than anyone this side of Tony Bourdain.
