Foot Culture

Page Six reports that Nicholas Cage has purchased an apartment in Manhattan with the intention of becoming a full-fledged part-time New Yorker:

Cage fans will soon be seeing a lot more of the Oscar-winning actor, who apparently likes to walk. “I’ve actually acquired an apartment in Manhattan and I intend to be a New Yorker part-time,” says Cage, who graces the cover of Gotham magazine’s fifth anniversary issue. “I love the foot culture in New York.”

Which of course begs the question (for me at least): What constitutes “foot culture?”

And in case you think this was some one-off Bushian flub, know that Cage has never been shy about his penchant for foot culture. For example, the Cage by Page website has him expanding on the Big Apple’s alleged foot culture:

The idea of a foot culture, that you are going to observe more people, to me is food, you know, for acting.

I don’t think he means to say “pedestrian culture,” which evokes something different, but perhaps he means “walking culture,” or “pedestrian lifestyle”? At least I think that’s what he’s talking about, but I suppose you never know . . .
