Been here 36 hours. Buildings are pretty. Streets are clean + surprisingly quiet. Public space is vast. NYC so uncomfortable comparatively god damn I gotta get out more.

always kind of viewed nyc as a second home away from toronto. only lived there for a few months but that's plenty of time for all kinds of impressions to be left. back in the city for a cheeky 2 day solo retreat and genuinely could not be happier

I really don’t like living here, but sometimes I’ll stumble onto something like this and feel so much gratitude for this strange, crowded metropolis.

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 :)
