That's true. Civic pride encourages exaggeration (the best restaurants, the biggest rats, the biggest Chinese population outside of China, more Jews than Tel Aviv, the most Vermeers, the list goes on), and lie is a harsh term. Hyperbole or just plain hype is a New-York thing that annoys the heck out of other communities. Sometimes the hype is real.
