Wandered through Central Park, saw a broadway show, visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Statue of Liberty (wasn't able to go to the top of the Statue, even though it was pre-9/11), top of the Empire State Building.
We also went to some cathedral.
I've always wanted to try an authentic NYC hot dog.Nathan's in Coney Island is the best. Don't bother with the street vendors and their gross boiled hot dogs. Gray's Papaya is decent for the price. Sauerkraut and mustard is the classic New York topping.
How lax are weed laws in NYC? I want to tour through Central Park high, goddamit.I wouldn't do it, bro. Not in Central Park, which is full of cops. Ever since Guiliani, the cops are very aggressive about ''quality of life'' crimes--weed smoking, public drunkness, etc.
Highly recommend the MMA, though you should reserve a day as it's HUGE. Worth it though especially if you like history.

That depends. What are the exact dates you're planning for your trip? Also, airline flight times and flight numbers, please.

I'm moving to NYC later this year, any NYC-boritos want to shoot me a PM for some tips on not dying? I'm moving with a dude who's spent some time living in the city, though it was only a month so he's not a fountain of information.You'll be fine. Stop being a drama queen.

Himu, don't smoke weed outside in Manhattan unless you're on a roof somewhere. Don't smoke outside in any other borough either unless you're in someone's backyard or something.
NYC street food is nothing special.
Himu, are you driving from TX to NY?
I'm gonna quit weed when I go to NYC. I hear the stuff there is shit compared to Cali, and plus I don't think I'd wanna be high in New York. Maybe for Summerfest.smh
Have to know a dealer and stuff, it's illegal so we don't divulge.
And hash is weed. In fact, hash > weed. Hash is stronger. Hash is mostly pure THC. It comes from the crystals and resin of the plant.
If you need stuff just send me a line. We can use Paypal or Google check out.Muji: Japanese wares of all kinds

I'm incredibly jealous of NYC. The only Muji and Uniqlo stores in North America are in NYC.

I've been told that plenty of times but the first time I tried weed, it was the most incredible experience. A girl I know got me some through her friend in the US and the experience was just second to none. My arms were wobbly, I was giggly as fuck and everything was practically in slow motion. I've been smoking hash ever since and never, not even once, got that same experience. So I'm out on the hunt for good weed when I get to the US.

Well it seems like my gay buddy doesn't want to live anywhere but Manhattan, upper east side.
Then I hope he has the money for it. Anywhere in Manhattan is expensive unless you have roommates.

If you want to pay rent up to 2-3k a month, right out of high school with no college degree go right ahead.
what are you going to do in NY startselect? Going to school there?

Oh god what? What is it with 20 somethings and that unbearable superiority complex? Am I doing something stupid? Do you feel I am blindly making my life decisions? Why do older people always look at the younger with silent judgement?
I'm not quite sure that's what's going on here, but it has in the past and frankly I'm sick of being judged by people who aren't even satisfied with their own, sad lives. And this post is probably getting lumped in with the rest of mine as "typical adolescent shit" by anybody who cares to read it. For the record I'm usually apathetic towards this shit but I just want some kind of answer lacking the unhelpful sarcasm and irony.

not "oh god you're fucking stupid"

Most people fresh out of highschool aren't so sure what they want to be, so having free time and work to figure it out is no big deal. The problem only comes in when you stay in that waiting period too long, get too comfortable and then have that "ohwait my life sucks" moment. It is not really a progression, but one life ending and then hitting reboot.
Try and find the job first obviously.
I hope you aren't trolling me. I want this to be hard, that's why I'm doing it.

I'm fully aware of that and I have a strong desire to be a well-educated adult, however I don't feel prepared for college just yet.
I dunno what that is and sure.Driving back on Monday.Damn, the Jay Elecetronica show is on Tuesday. Oh well.

Also can we kick it when I'm in NY? :-*

Youf of today- can't tell them nothing.
I feel sorry for startselect's parents, since they're going to have to bail him out when he's thirty and realizes he may have made a tiny huge mistake.
Pretty much my philosophy. I just remind myself it's not always me against the world.
It's kinda lame but I've lived in New York my entire life but I've only been to Manhattan like 4 or 5 times. :/ You guys better explore the fuck outta the city.:-\

My dad is bankrupt, I won't have the luxury of getting bailed out. I'm afraid its the streets for me if I screw this up.
You'll find most of your friends are as lost as you are despite all their best appearences.Pretty much my philosophy. I just remind myself it's not always me against the world.
I am thankful to have friends that remind me of just that.

Why are you intent on annihilating yourself?
yes, we went to the bronx zoo for my gf's bday last year, get there early if you can, because otherwise it gets filled with tons of school groups because it's pay what you want.Yeah, it's even like this in the summer.
if I wait any longer the balls to go and move to NY I have will be long gone.
- visited 9/11 Memorial. Pretty sad.:american
- Saw the Statue of Liberty. I was moved.
- Ate lunch at Shake Shack. Holy shit.

Just move to NYC, Garret, you make it sound as difficult as moving to the moon ffs. Do you fear the hardship of "making it"? Who cares if you're in a squalid, 150 sq. ft. studio for 900 a month, you'll be living in New fucking York.What exactly is adventurous about it?
And people trying to talk me outta moving there. Looking at Himumu here if I wait any longer the balls to go and move to NY I have will be long gone. Where's your sense of adventure? Your lust for danger? You're in your 20s for the love of God, you have no excuse to be so fatalistic.
Himuro, I don't really know the extent of your film aspirations, but a bunch of my friends from Full Sail are moving to Boston this coming fall. I think Paramount opened a new studio there or around there, and they're looking to get some crew work. I guess.

I mean is this like a theory that you're going to go there and then be in a constantly excited state of mind or are there physical things attracting you to the place (certain people, schools, businesses, etc)?
If you ever want some numbers/contacts of anybody there, let me know, my friends would be more than willing to lend a hand/advice/give their inputs.
new york's alright if you like saxophones
Startselect, people are trying to talk you out of living in expensive ass manhattan. Go to the Bx, Qnz, or Bk. It's much cheaper and Manhattan is only a train ride away.
I'd live in Brooklyn if I ever find myself in NYC
Why? I saw a lot of posts and signs about changes to the bus schedules so maybe that's it.

i know you don't want any advice and want to succeed or fail on your own, but i think that setting yourself up in a prohibitively expensive area of manhattan is more a chance to fail than a chance to succeed
but that's all i'm going to say on the subject.
that was a Rail Service, commuter rail to places like Milford CT to get suburbanites into the city
the normal subway rides are (as of now) $2.25 to go from anywhere to anywhere. I buy a monthly card which gives me unlimited use of bus and subway for $89
tourists stay in times square, wall st and such like that. it's a fucking nightmare if you have to get anywhere around there during tourist season. coming from the dc area, i had an ingrained hatred of tourists already, but goddamn these euros drive me mad.
We weren't just seeing businessmen and women get on this thang to and from work either. What's the avg minimum wage in NYC?
I love that Raban hasn't even moved to NYC yet and is already talking about how sick he's gonna be of tourists.

if you only take the subway once a day, wouldn't it be cheaper to pay $2.25 every time? also I heard the month passes are going up to $100 by the end of this year
yeah I'm never owning a car in NY. I don't even understand why people DO.

Cars are quicker for getting to and around any borough except Manhattan. Also, public transportation can sometimes be extremely annoying and uncomfortable.
Himu and Beezy are about 14 each.
