The subtle swing of favor can be difficult to track. One day you're eating a Crumbs cupcake, thinking you're five bites away from becoming a #influencer, and the next thing you know, the Wall Street Journal slaps a tombstone on the once-revered baked good.
Rather than let you post a snapshot of your cronut on Instagram that inspires an exasperated sigh rather than FOMO, we've compiled a list of things that were once cool, but have since become fodder for hypebeasts and tourists. Avoid the lines and the mean-spirited laugher with our guide to the most overrated things in NYC right now.

The Knicks
First of all, let's start with the New York Knicks' fans—and this applies to New York sports in general, too. Knicks fans, in particular, have such inflated egos that they almost eclipse the overrated players themselves. They believe their team has a rich legacy like the Boston Celtics or Los Angeles Lakers. They foolishly think their team is good enough give the Miami Heat a run for their money. And, worst of all—and we genuinely feel bad for them on this one—they are convinced Carmelo Anthony (or maybe Amar'e Stoudemire) is going to bring an NBA title back to Madison Square Garden. LOL. Over LeBron's dead body.
