[...] made it to NYC this summer for the first time ever and while I don’t think I could make it as a local, I could absolutely spend a solid chunk of time there, perhaps summer fling-like. Eating pizza [...]

Ok, so just know that even after you have lived in NYC for 8 years that whole bittersweet thing never goes away. Believe me, I know…oh lord, I KNOW!

Great great post. Awesome awesome blog.

NYC ages people. It has a lot to offer, but it takes it's 10% in the deal.

I've only ever visited NYC – many times, growing up only two hours away – but I see exactly what you mean. It's an amazing place and I could love living there, but I'm nervous that taking that chance would mean giving up much more. Is it really worth it???

So, so true. It's not about what works, it's about finding what doesn't work… and what you can't live without.
Trader Joe's might be on my list of what I can't live without. Thank God I'm moving even closer to one.

Love and miss you, fabulous lady!

I miss NYC with almost every fiber of my being (exception being the grocery shopping fiber). It's strange. I guess I just miss the PULSE and the PEOPLE and the freedom to do whatever the hell you want because you will never, ever be the most outrageous person. Every other city just seems so BORING in comparison – DC, Boston, Chicago – none of them seem to fill me up the way NYC did.

I still have a bit of city shopping to do, but I really think I might end up right back in NYC. Time will tell.

ENJOY SAN FRAN. I am jealous!

Maybe you only visited Manhattan or Brooklyn? Sometimes visitors only get scheduled to visit the loud rushed parts. There are quiet places but you have to seek those out.

What happened to New Orleans? How come I never got my fucking update email from you? Explain yourself.

I didn't like NYC. I've been there a few times now, and this last time I went really turned me off to it. I like quiet towns, not cities and definitely not busy ones. I like to be in a place I feel welcome, not where I feel rushed. I was pretty much on red alert the whole time I was in NYC this summer.
