Top 8 Reasons NY is different from FL

I live in New York, NY as you probably can tell from the Rockefeller tree avatar but I frequent Orlando, FL. There are some major differences, which makes them great for escape from each other. I'd go to Florida for a vacation, straight down the I-95S. Then, I'd come back to New York, up I-95N. Wherever, I'm getting something I'm missing at the other, like:
  • The wardrobe is completely different. We're much more conservative here in that aspect but maybe it's because we don't get as many 100-degree days. It can be difficult to adjust to but in Florida, you can walk around in a bathing suit normally. In New York, if you wear things like that, people can get extremely suspicious.
  • The palm trees, the beautiful palm trees. It saddens me to see them turn brown around the edges because they're one of my favorite parts of Florida.
  • Rocky roads. In Florida, rocky road simply means ice cream. In New York, not-so-much. It's semi-devastating how different the road pavement is. Do they really not care about us?
  • In New York, there's Cold Stone but there's no Dairy Queen.
  • There's a lot of golfing in Orlando...
  • but no ice cream trucks!
  • Weatherwise, Orlando is like walking into an oven and New York is like walking into a sauna. It can get cold in Florida but I have yet to see snow (not that it hasn't happened...I've just never seen it).
  • Not as many airplanes overhead in Orlando as in New York...though there are a lot of helicopters, for $20 a ride. Any helicopters in New York are usually searching for criminals.
