What have you learned from living in NYC?
Here’s what I’ve learned since living in NYC. SO LOUD. There are sirens—constantly. Screaming, yelling, the hustle and bustle of city life, I guess. But there is just so. much. noise. You don’t even always know where it’s coming from; it’s just there! Manhattan is the biggest offender, but it’s hard to find quiet places no matter where you are.
Is there too much to do in NYC?
There’s just too much to do in NYC and it never stops. That’s not a bad thing, of course, but sometimes the paradox of too many choices is just…too much. “Too much amazing” doesn’t make it easy to find stuff to do; it makes it harder. So sometimes you’ve just got to gamble and go for it. Speaking of gambling, dating in NYC is largely not fun.

Not just those touristy things to do in NYC; but parties, clubs, activities, events, festivals.
