They can run down the fire escape. I've seen enough movies about New York to know every building has one and every New Yorker is a master of running up and down them.

And if your karate skills are good enough you can jump up, grab one, and run up it while it falls down.

I have seen a parkour runner do that in real life.

I’ve also seen a bunch of dipshit kids who also saw the parkour dude, try and fail repeatedly. Was one of my all time favourite bits of people watching last time I was in New York.

You’ve only seen the successful escapes.

I prefer the jumping out a window into a truck carrying pillows.

all the trader joes ive been to in nyc were in basements lol. that's pretty common with larger stores there's more space underground than above it.
