An excuse to go to NYC is very cool, but do you really want to go to some lousy bowl game once there?  Kinda lame.  I guess maybe I'm asking the wrong crowd here.

NYCPak hosted by GOSP will be terribly elite.  Will make up for having to go to the bowl.

OK, speaking of elderly, the great aunt was also at dinner, and she must've told me six times that she used to go swimming after work at a hotel pool in downtown Brooklyn in the 1940s.  Did I know which hotel that was?  No, I do not know which damn hotel that was.

Lived at the Ardsley in Manhattan (CPW and 79th ish) for a summer so I know your pain.

Impossible to be over-rated when it is the city that all other cities are rated against. You live in the USA people. NYC is in the USA. Keeping this in mind, if you don't go to NYC simply because you can... well then, I just don't  :dunno:.... I suppose I pity you more than anything.

NYC is a seething cess pool, the majority of the people are a holes, there's WAAAYYY too much traffic,  you're squeezed into a tiny apt for which you've paid far too much and there's no GD parking. Aside from that, I love the place - I affectionately refer to it as Satan's Nostril.

I love the people and don't drive while there.  NYC may be my favorite place in the world  :love:

You should move there. 

This has been serious advice, courtesy of michiganksucat.

I should move a lot of places but am kind of tied down at the moment.  In two years I'll have options   :pray:

NYC requires trade-offs.

The first time I came out to visit NYC, I knew I wanted to live here.  Here you'll find more action, ethnic diversity, opportunity and intellectual stimulation than any other place in the U.S.(the world?).  Maybe I was just a sheltered kid, but in my personal experience, it seems people from NYC have much broader horizons in terms of what they consider possible to accomplish/do.  Also, you've got models, musicians, fashonistas and "scenes" if you're into that (which can be fun).  And the best beaches in the U.S. are in the Hamptons, according to a 2010 survey.  I can't even imagine owning a car anymore -- you can get anywhere by public transportation.

OTOH, you have to be willing to pay for this (literally) and put up with crowds, rude people, no lawn, grime and graffiti (which I actually like), long waits, and small expensive apartments DEFINITELY.

To me, it's worth it.  I understand it's not for everyone, though.

City AND state taxes are high.  I personally think the services we get are worth it, though.

A friend of mine bought a beautiful house in Connecticut to avoid the taxes and kept his rental apartment in NYC.  He gave up the NYC apartment after a year or so, but he and his wife were so bored they had to rent a NYC apartment again and "move" back to the City (still a CT resident if Uncle Sam asks).  Point is: the taxes are bad, but living in the City wins in the end.

Love how many people in NY act like NY is the only place you conceivably do anything fun.

Know what's missing?  College football.   The real kind, not 9th-tier bowl games played in pro baseball stadiums.  Also missing?  People who actually give a crap about college sports.  I hear SUNY-Stony Brook is gonna have an awesome team this year, though.


FWIW, I would absolutely love to go to the Steinbrenner Bowl or whatever it's called this year, though.

Don't forget to add ironic aprons for the cooks to wear. This is actually a trend in the city now. East River Bar in Williamsburg does this - you bring your own meat though.

The beer gardens in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan are somewhat similar and a real good time. If I had my druthers I'd open a few in other spots in the US.

Add in a 1950-80's theme with a bouncer at the front door checking your appropriately ironic/nostalgic dress (a big heavy red door with a mail slot and you have to ring the doorbell and get passed "dad" to get in.)

-crazy electronic store bodegas.  I mean, yeah, I'm going down to the corner to buy a laptop and an HD camcorder.
-restaurants that you wouldn't know were there unless you were told or directed to them.  Just walk right by without even seeing them.
-normal non-homeless people taking naps in public. 
-crazy rules on when to walk and when not to.  sometimes the street is completely clear but I don't walk because the locals don't.  then, sometimes, it's busy as eff and a red light and I'm walking because the locals are.  just follow them, i haven't died yet.
-the traffic lanes are not even a suggestion.  People will turn a 2 lane into a 4 lane at 50 mph for the entire day.  police car right next to the cab and they don't GAF.  pretty great.
-guys selling their underground rap albums for $5.  I am going to buy one someday to check it out.

You know I gotta be honest here.  This just burns me up.  Mrs. KK is in NYC for work and she forgets her power cord.  She calls me up and she's like all cheery and finishes with "Oh, by the way I had to buy a power cord, I forgot mine at home."  I casually ask how much it was expecting to be blown away by some amazing street vendor/bodega deal that saved us money and I get "$95.  I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW, but it was the cheapest place I shopped around."

This was probably a top 3 argument in the history of our relationship.  I just lost my head for awhile.  I promptly went out and bought all three meals that day from fast food joints.

DAMMIT, I cannot stand idly by while people throw out numbers showing NYC to be less overcrowded than it actually is.  I have no idea where the numbers on that list are from.  NYC is by far the most densely-populated large city in the U.S. -- topped only by four small NJ towns.  It's 26K per square mile of land.  (And that includes the outer boroughs.  The island of Manhattan alone is 67K per square mile.)  It's also the most dense metro area.  We're teeming with humanity here, and I won't hear otherwise.

L.A. only has 8K per square mile.  It's like an Iowa cornfield by comparison.  Someone does not have their stats straight!

Things you love about NYC that don't get enough press:
-crazy electronic store bodegas.  I mean, yeah, I'm going down to the corner to buy a laptop and an HD camcorder.
-restaurants that you wouldn't know were there unless you were told or directed to them.  Just walk right by without even seeing them.
-normal non-homeless people taking naps in public. 
-crazy rules on when to walk and when not to.  sometimes the street is completely clear but I don't walk because the locals don't.  then, sometimes, it's busy as shazbot! and a red light and I'm walking because the locals are.  just follow them, i haven't died yet.
-the traffic lanes are not even a suggestion.  People will turn a 2 lane into a 4 lane at 50 mph for the entire day.  police car right next to the cab and they don't GAF.  pretty great.
-guys selling their underground rap albums for $5.  I am going to buy one someday to check it out.

Everything but that last one:  :love:

hey GoSP, i pretty much knew i was right all along but wanted skinnybenny to have his "moral victory"

i didn't see any way that LA could be more dense than NYC but then again, I was just reading a story on Sunday about LA's skid row and how many homeless are crammed into that small area downtown.  who knows but i think we are right, but like i said, who knows!!  LMAO!!!
