yellow cabs
Iconic city taxis
Yellow cabs are taxis painted yellow, especially the iconic taxicabs of New York City.
The color makes them highly visible on city streets.
While yellow taxis operate in several American cities, the phrase evokes Manhattan in particular: We hailed a yellow cab outside Grand Central.
