I got banned from Venmo after getting scammed so now when it comes time to split the bill I force everyone to start using Apple Cash. But it actually is better — you just iMessage the money to them, and then you can pay for stuff when you swipe with your Apple Cash wallet.

Don’t embarrass yourself at a restaurant because no one knows who’s paying, or god forbid ever tries to hand a waiter 17 cards. Put your card down, and send everyone a venmo request. If they take a picture of the check and send you a venmo themselves, you’ll never get all your money back. Take control of the narrative.

if we're going to be forced to participate in capitalism, might as well do it anonymously. also it's more tangible and a better way to tip people.

Thanks y’all for the fire tips - I had a blast. Just put everyone’s rec’s into a google maps collection so you can find them at the link📍
My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.

You trusted someone with your money or your heart or both, and then that person surprises you by fucking you over. fuck!
This sucks a lot and might mess you up pretty bad and make you lose faith in people, but on the other side there is the potential for new found strength as you now have *experience*.
Trusting people is such an essential thing, so after getting scammed when you eventually find ways to trust people again, you’ll do it with a better sense of who to give it to and how much to give and when. That’s a powerful thing, and not easy to understand until you’ve been burned.
Keep trusting, keep getting burned, but hopefully a little less so each time.

🏠 decent living situation — awful roommates, deadbeat landlords, or psycho neighbors will make you super miserable so try to get this one locked down!
🫂 homies — making new friends can take a long time, but if you commit to putting yourself out there over and over you’ll connect with some truly inspiring and amazing people 🤑 income (even a little) — yes you can get by on dumplings, no Ubers, no bars, etc. but being broke here feels particularly like a prison because most things are stupid expensive. Be on your grind and then blissfully spend it all away
If you end up getting all 3 of these you’re probably gonna be hopelessly addicted to being here just like me. Welcome to NYC :)
