"They'll take Manhattan, in Cash" :this is the title of the New York Times.

"They" are the Europeans, who are taking over New York thanks to high value of Euro Currency against US Dollars. NYTimes writes 

Their party is raging just as the hangover has started to set in for Americans. Frictions do arise — especially in a summer of looming recession, where many locals do not feel rich enough or secure enough to travel abroad themselves. (And let’s not even get into their weeks of summer vacation).

Yes, we may raid your stores - thinking at those as "our personal Candyland", dressed "in sneakers and bike shorts" but do not blame us: you, americans, in the ol' days, have been way worse.

At least we have style. :)

Mmmh, by the way: I'm planning to visit New York in the next October. Not sure yet, but likely.
