Yellow cabs

They may not be the quickest or most economic way to get around the city but they are one of the most recognizable visual icons of NYC.
I'll miss being able to step onto the sidewalk, glamorously/sexily/drunkenly wave an arm and have one cross three lanes and brake at my feet...(well, except when it's raining, snowing, or I have luggage or shopping). In most cases, specially late night, Sydney cabs require a phone call...
