The bar scene :noah:

The unique people :noah:

The stylish people :noah:

The diversity:noah:

The pawgs :noah:

Or is this just a Drake situation as referenced below I am experiencing? :lupe:

"I always hear people complain about the place that they live, That all the people here are fake and they got nothin' to give, 'Cause they been starin' at somebody else's version of shyt, That makes another city seem more excitin' than it is"

Living in NYc is/was fun, but's also exhasusting, stressful, and a strain on the wallet.
6 years of living there, many sleepless nights, many crazy times, met alot of cool and interesting people,
wouldn't trade it for the world.

Ujnfortunately I don't think I would see myself living there again. Visiting, yes, but damn, that shyt burned me out fam. lol

I went for my 25th and hung out with so many different random people (when Facebook was still fun and I kept in touch with my college friends) and I stayed for a week and it really felt like I was living there :noah:

Now I'm married, a home body and :flabbynsick:

I miss my youth :noah:

if you’re a social person that likes all that stuff than yea it is fun but I would say most of that fun is centered in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn, Jersey city NJ and Hoboken NJ.

Ain’t going to have no fun going to an Indian hood in Richmond Hill with Indians and coolies grilling you lol.

def ain’t going to have fun if you broke either.

but I will say NYC does have the most fun ghetto areas tho at least compared to what I’ve seen in other cities where ghettos look much more serious and filled with a lot of bad issues.

I was a social butterfly (pause) back in college so I'd do fine socially.

I make about 100k and live good in my area....but 100k in NYC is trash and I would never spend more than 1300 on an apartment. Lol.

id still live here if I made 100K especially if I was with a chick who made good income as well.

but like most native New Yorkers who make 100K, I wouldn’t live in the areas that you guys constantly see on TV.

Id probably head over to no mans land Far Rockaway and get me spot there.
