I am falling in love with NYC. a year ago I said there were two cities I never wanted to live in: DC and NYC. Now, I would move to New York tomorrow if I could. It is just SO much fun
( Read more... )
yeah, i'm not exactly looking forward to the apartment-hunting.....hopefully it won't be *too* painful.
i think the west village is out of my price range (chelsea too), but the east village/LES is looking possible. and the UES. are you willing to answer questions about neighborhoods for me? i need all the help i can get :)
Ask away. I love talking about New York, though I'm very biased towards downtown, rather than up. Though I hear marvellous things about the uptown that's really up there (like in the 100s).
yeah, I'm really liking downtown. I think I'm falling for the West Village and Chelsea, but from what I can tell so far, I'm pretty much priced out of those areas. The East Village looks promising, although I haven't spent as much time wandering around there. I am actually finding reasonably priced things on the Upper East Side (in the 80s and 90s), and a *couple* things on the Upper West Side. I have a friend who lives in Morningside Heights, and I think she really likes it up there.
Of course, if I get placed in Brooklyn, all this becomes moot, because that's where I want to live anyway. I'm probably only going to live in Manhattan if I get placed in the Bronx. (although, depending on where I teach in Brooklyn, commuting from lower Manhattan might be the same as commuting from Park Slope....)
karen (the veggie) likes mushrooms sometimes. sometimes she hates them. (she had them on saturday night at dinner too.) she's a damn picky vegetarian. me, i like mushrooms raw, not so much cooked. i don't care how primitive they are, they are tasty.
Well, my first chuckle was that I misinterpreted "veggie" as being "vegetable" and not "vegetarian"... the other chuckle is because mushrooms aren't vegetables! They're funguses.
yeah, i tend to just refer to karen as "the veggie". she's one of two of my friends who are real vegetarians (i.e. not like marianne, who eats fish). last i checked, she hadn't turned into a vegetable yet.

Yaaaaay!! :D
It's a very satisfying place to fall in love with. You will probably feel a lot less love towards it when you're apartment-hunting though.
I miss my Chelsea. And my West Village. Sniffle.

This made me chuckle. One of my old herbalism books referred to mold as a primitive plant. That made me chuckle, too.
