Ok I’m not going to read the comments but you don’t get to declare NY territory with the name Boston Max. This isn’t opinion, it is general northeast law come on man
Feel this very strongly- slightly opposite. Moved from NY to Austin and I’m having a massive internal conflict over my all black into a new floral life. Finding the inbetween.
Been lovingly following this series since its inception. Read Hey Ladies and thought it was dope too. Never made the connection between the 2 because they’re not really all that similar. It’s not that deep. Chill.
Got sucker punched in the face by some creep at a concert (can’t make this shit up), ended up in the ER the next day (unrelated, thought my appendix exploded- surprise, I’m lactose intolerant and ate way too much pizza), moved my entire life back to my parent’s in the burbs for my inbetween time between leases. I’m skipping Thanksgiving week next year.
I’m leaving NY for Austin and have a heavy heart about it. I’m from NY so there is some level of bias here, but it is truly unlike anything else. Rent is somewhat reasonable if you live outside of Manhattan itself and everyday is just so exhaustingly batshit crazy and wild. I’d pitch for giving it a shot at some point in your life.
It’s very all consuming. Kind of hard not to get caught up. It’s a really tough and overwhelming place to be all of the time so there’s a certain amount of pride to just like…getting through the day without totally losing your shit. Disclaimer: I’m moving to Austin because NY literally wore me down to the end of my rope, but I’ll probably always remain irrationally defensive toward it.
Why is it the greatest city in the world? Accessibility. Being able to do whatever you want literally at any hour of the day or night has ruined me for life. And there’s so much of it. There’s so much of everything. It is exhausting.
How are you able to afford to live there? Good job/good apartment hunting network. Not living in Manhattan itself. Living in a house turned apartment, rather than apartment building.
How far from NYC can you live and still be a New Yorker? If you live in NY, you are a New Yorker.
How do you get home from a night out? Lyft line, subway, walking. Combination of all 3. Unless it’s a Sunday, subways are usually going constantly. Big fan of walking everywhere to avoid the subway stank and it’s a nice way to explore a bit.
How does dating work there? It doesn’t, you just cry all of the time.
Where does the hate towards New Jersey come from? It sucks.

Hoping they all rage stalk their way through the archives and get over themselves

Seems covered but I’m in Austin. Next time..sup?
Twitter is honestly kind of a total shit show/ free for all. Very few rules apply. Welcome, it’s a blast.

Finally made an account after trolling this series for months, team Rachel.
