This latest video proves there is no city like New York City.

The video shows a couple, who apparently had an entire ping-pong table with them, playing a match smack in the middle of the subway.

“On the 6 train tonight, a couple takes out and starts a ping pong game,” writer Mary Karr posted on Twitter. “I (love) NYC.”

The New Yorkers around were famously unbothered. But that didn’t stop people on Twitter from rolling their eyes.

“Ugh. They should stop trying so hard,” one person wrote.

Even Bronx native Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) had something to say.

“Where on the 6 was this? Please tell me this was Manhattan, I’m not trying to get phone calls about this,” she tweeted.

No word on who the couple is, who the winner of the match was, or if Ocasio-Cortez’s office phone has been ringing.
