I don't get the hate for the new world trade center tower. I honestly think it's pretty clever and has an understated elegance.
 
Wow, first month in NYC done and in the history books! It's pretty sweet so far... I love how many places the subway system can get me to, and takeout food is somehow a bit cheaper, but besides that it's not all too different from my time spent down on South Huntington. The building density is in a whole 'nother orbit though, that's for sure, and boy the number of ugly brown buildings here is staggering. Boston definitely is on the whole much prettier.

Welp this is my neighborhood, way up the island of Manhattan in the 160s

Hello all once again! Two months down in NYC and I can't really complain (although of course I could, ha). As it turns out the only thing that's really taken much adapting to is the subway system, and on that front I've learned lots, though there's always more I could know ("oh, at this station I want to be near the front of the train" etc etc).

Besides that, I can conclusively say that food is a little bit cheaper here while everything else is more or less a wash. Oh and living on the first floor of such a densely packed area is nooooooiiiiiiisy!

OK that's it for now. Good luck with all that snow :eek:
 
Fantastic pictures, I especially like the ones with the skyline in the hazy distance.

I can't wait to see the Pyramid in person. Ingels is a genius.

Thanks for the photos, Nexis!
 
Three months down already? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit. Well NYC is starting to not feel so huge, which is weird since it's always been this overwhelming beast but I guess that's a good thing.
