The City of Sin 16 hours ago

I must admit: living in New York city has changed my perspective on the world. Welcome to one of the most liberal cities in the world. Where magic happens every single day; on the subway cars and central park; in the bars and pubs; in Chinatown and Little Italy; At Pacha and Webster Hall; in Times Square and Soho; literally everywhere. No joke.

Live in this city at least once in your life. Do not let it turn you hard. Turn it soft again. Spread the love you wish to see within it.



Visited many times, would love to live there 5 days ago

New York is amazing! Been a bunch of times and every time I go, I want to move there. I’m hoping it can happen sometime in 2010. I’ve lived in Seattle, Australia, Bermuda and Barbados but I think NYC would be my favorite place.

My Dream 2 months ago

I’ve watched the 6 seasons of sex and the city.. and it may be a little girly but I loved new york because of the 4 girls. I like the energy of the city, the way things change and how the city never sleeps … there is a non stop life happening and I love that about NYC.
I never been there but it’s one of my dreams !!!
I’m literaly at the other side of the world (Casablanca/Morocco) but I keep hoping (and working) to get there.
Hopefully!



I came, I saw...I loved it! 3 months ago

As a strict left-coaster my entire life, I’d never even been to New York or anywhere on the east coast. But when my step-brother decided to leave his wayward life in Florida for a new, even-more-wayward life in NYC, I said “what the hell, I’m booking a plane ticket and visiting that fool :)”

So I went, and was smitten pretty much as soon as the plane pulled up to the terminal. Manhattan and Brooklyn pretty much screamed at me “Move here! Sell car! Say no more to suburbia and it’s wretched blandness!” It was pretty surreal just being there for the first couple days, finding oneself in such iconic and often-portrayed surroundings, but then it occured to me that this place really seemed to suit me on many levels. Sick of car payment? Don’t need one! Like to walk? Yes! Want virtually endless free/cheap things to do and see? Check! Like being outnumbered by women? Yep!

So yeah, it’s simply a matter of when for me…not if.



This is historic for me... 3 months ago

Since I was in junior high, I wanted to live in the city. I’ve wanted to do a lot of things in my short 17.5 years, but most of those dreams faded with time. When I got accepted to two colleges, one in DC and one in New York, I was conflicted. The school in DC is really good. I came to a conclusion… “Mollie,” I said, “you’ve been wanting to do this for as long as you can remember. You have the chance, now do it.”

I move into my Manhattan dormitory in August =)
