You can walk around barefoot in Los Angeles but not in New York. Eccentrics do whatever they want anyway, but you really can’t pad around shoeless and sockless in any of the five boroughs. I never did this in Los Angeles in all my years there, not once, but one thing I like about that town is that if you do the barefoot thing it won’t seem all that weird — you can get away with it.
