It's a New York-based publication with most of its circulation and staff in New York, founded in New York by New Yorkers, headquartered in the NEW YORK Times building, and has "New York" in its title, and you complain about it having a New York-centric view?

It's a feature, not a bug.

The HN headline seems to have been modified, away from the actual headline: "The Miracle of Moving a Piano in New York City".

If I wrote an article with the headline "The Miracle of building a chair in Hawaii", and then described the normal process of building a chair which is location agnostic, wouldn't you bewildered as to why I included "Hawaii" in the headline?

I understand that they are based in NYC, I just don't understand why that's relevant enough to be in the headline. "The miracle of moving a piano" would've done just fine.

He's rather asking what's specific about this to New York city.
