Bad things about living in NYC

A casual dining experience, with mediocre food, and no alcohol, can run $25/plate. Multiply that times 1.5/day (average) and you get ~$2300 for 9 weeks. That is about the same as my rent. So a summer in NYC....about ~4600 sans shopping or any pleasure purchases.

The words "...at all hours of the night" is so NOT an understatement. There is a popular bar/restaurant across the street, so there are always taxis honking and drunken sluts screaming. Not to mention the two firestations that are a block in either direction. Oh, and the garbage truck likes our street a lot, for some reason...

Never think you can get anywhere relatively far (1 mile +) in less than 30 mins during the morning rush hour, lunch, or evening rush hour. Being on a schedule is a killer!

for the most part, the nightlife in NY revolves around alcohol, so being 21 helps a lot. OR, having a fake ID. Neither of which i have (in FL its less of an issue, moreso just for clubs...)

I can barely hear an in-person conversation (when in a busy area), much less a person I am talking to on the phone (when in a busy area).

So we drive on the right...it would make sense, and be more organized...if we WALKED on the right. Somehow that doesn't quite enter the minds of New Yorkers, and they just walk wherever they can, making for an obstacle course when trying to get from place to place on foot. And what is it with bicycles on the F-ing sidewalk!?! That's what the street is for!

I think this is self-explanatory.

again, self-explanatory.
