You can't buy a puppy in the West Village when you've been drinking.

I was taking a walking tour of the WV today (yes, my own neighborhood) I got as a Groupon awhile ago.  The guide said threre's a law against buying puppies when drunk in the neighborhood.  It turns out he was exaggerating, but only a bit.  It's not a 'law' but a policy actually practiced by all the pet stores in the area.

Surprising fact: taxicabs can't refuse to take you anywhere in NYC

Drivers are required to pick up the first or closest passenger they see, and may not refuse a trip to a destination anywhere within the five boroughs, neighboring Westchester, Nassau or Suffolk Counties or to Newark Liberty International Airport.
