I am, in fact, walking here. Let's go Met Baby!

Finally got done settling in. A nice "cozy" one bedroom at the bottom of east Harlem.

I don't know. Ama? Give me hot tips and tricks for the city?

Pfftt

Just moving there doesn't make you a New Yorker.

You have to be born in the City, molded by it.

It's really not too bad. Apart from the general grime of a big city it's just a bunch of people doing their thing.

Step one, don't be constantly looking up.
Step two, if you have to stop for something on the sidewalk, take yourself out of traffic.

Step Tree, Do seek out the cool places that sell great cheap meals, they are out there!!

Definitely want to find those. I thought bodegas were supposed to be the cheap go to for everything but 2 chopped cheese and fries was 27 bucks and a gallon of milk was 6. I'm not sold on the concept.

Keep your eyes out, there are places that have reasonable prices, by NYC standards.

Welcome to Manhattan prices.

Never buy grocery items at a bodega.

Brooklyn Costco? Know some people there, like no NYC Costco's have gas stations right? There's like a few home depots in NYC, and they don't give plastic bags iirc

You aren't a New Yorker until you see something ridiculous and just keep walking not even adjusting your speed.
You aren't a New Yorker until you have a very loud and very public argument with somebody yelling at you from their car or apartment window.
You aren't a New Yorker until you have a misadventure on the subway, it could be erotic, it could be weird, it could be gross, it could be violent but it could be certainly be a memory.

And finally,

You aren't a New Yorker until you've seen people walking slow and staring up at the skyscrapers and either cussed at them to get out of the way or muttered "Damn tourists" while passing them.

Do not despair for fortunately one or all of these will happen to you in at least 3 months or less. Source, I live in Texas.

It's really not that bad. I hate big cities as much as the next guy but groceries aren't much more expensive and most of the apartments back in charleston are at least 2000 anyway, although bigger than this one for the price. It's not like I'm going to fancy restaurants and shows every week.
