This day in age, chilango means anyone who lives in Mexico City, and it's a source of pride. Soy chilango, y que?

Who bashes NYC? That town is 2nd to Mexico City in my books, and that's a high ranking. My only issue with NYC is the push n' shove in the streets...a little less civilized than DF, but otherwise, a great, great city.

Well, the push n shove I got in NYC was street level and whilst handicapped on crutches. Otherwise, the subway was grand. Dirty, but people were helpful.

NYC is the only other place in the world I would live after Mexico City.

hmm...I met one the other day who said that he was not a chilango but a capitalano, ie born in the city rather than having moved there.

For people from a city like New York, Mexico City, Los Angeles--and maybe others. Everything outside the city is irrelavent to them. And that's okay, we can forgive them that. But what we can't forgive them is not realizing that it's the opposite for us. They think everything outside the city is irrelavent period.

Of course there are all sorts of folks everywhere.
