So Austin in NYC is pronounced the same way as in Texas? Because I wanted to slap the “…your such a dumbass,” look off the face of the dude who gave it to me when I pronounced Houston Street like Houston, TX instead of “How-Stun” when I visited in 1997. I knew the proper NY pronunciation, but I was living in Dallas at the time, so it just came out “Hew-Stun”, hence the look I recieved.
