Pros:
-All of the museums= days and days of entertainment and learning and bettering myself. Please ignore the fact that I have gone to more museums when visiting than the entire 6 months spent actually living here, I'm fixing that tomorrow with my first visit to the Met. Alexander McQueen for me, Guitar Heroes to convince my boyfriend that he want to ride the train all the way uptown.
-Cute apartment
-No need to drive anywhere
-Highly amusing and fun interactions with complete strangers
-There is everything and anything you might want to do or see or experience available a short (-ish) train ride away
-Amazing people. They must be somewhere hiding in this city, right?
-The Strand
-Getting perfume custom blended for $10
-Us waking up on a lovely day and walking around Central Park- and holding his hand weird just to freak him out.
-Bagels, and pizza. And being able to find a restaurant that can satiate any craving. My next goal is to find my new favorite Korean spot.
-Watching TV and movies and knowing exactly where they were shooting.
-Knowing that if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.
Cons:
-No money. Well, actually, more money, but way less buying power. And another day in the service industry on the UES is going to drive me fucking insane.
-All of the amazing fashion and design and stores selling things you never knew you absolutely needed until that very moment.
-Tiny apartment
-Smelling like the Bedford-Nostrand subway stop everyday (don't try to tell me otherwise)
-Extremely terrifying and enraging interactions with complete strangers. Like the naked racist. And of course, thank you purse-snatchers, I will never again doubt your skills.
-Work, work, work. Hate my work, cut down on my schedule. Immediately go broke. Work.
-No real grocery stores. At least not in my neighborhood- the ones with clean, unobstructed aisles, fresh beautiful produce and everything on my list. No I do not want to go two subway stops for sriracha. I live on the G for christssake.
-The G
-Catcallers- Someday I will think of something clever and scathing and shut you up for good. Until then, I will have to settle for coming up with a retort five minutes later for comments like "you're pretty, you should smile" and "I'd like to cum all over those glasses"
