Biglaw associates: What class year were you when you bought a house? How expensive of a house did you get? Forum

[Anonymous User]

I'm glad that you're all so happy with your TTT city/suburban lives that you're writing hundreds of words to justify why you love your McMansions so much, but now you're all fighting strawmen.
1. I never said Panera was the *only* restaurant in TTT cities, just that there are fewer dining options there than in NYC. Anyone dispute that? I'm a 10 minute walk from pretty much any cuisine I can imagine. Is your 3500 sq ft house on half an acre also walking distance from Michelin starred Korean/American/Spanish/Italian/Sushi/etc?
2. I never said there was *nothing* to do in TTT cities (or anything about meth or fentanyl -- weird that you brought those up), just that there's more varied, interesting stuff to do in NYC. Anyone dispute that?
3. I never said I'm a biglaw associate (although I did plenty of fun stuff when I was)

Did I miss anything? Hard to keep track with all the anons.

1. The Michelin guide only rates certain cities, so it's literally impossible to have a Michelin star here. But there's multiple Michelin-quality restaurants nearby if I were so inclined. I'm 5 minutes from the local Koreatown, 5 minutes from an Asian market with great sushi, walkable to Italian, have a tapas place next to my office. I prefer the food scene here to NYC - same quality with less pretense.

2. I think everyone on this thread agrees that NYC has an unusual wealth of city/type activities. It's annoying if you like outdoors though, as that requires a car, which is a PITA to own or rent in the city.

3. Thread was about biglaw associates. I was an NYC biglaw associate once as well. I got out sometimes, but it was difficult to make plans.

You’re right. NYC is superior to every other American city, and anyone who doesn’t believe that is a rube.

Can we move on now?

Not until we also agree that person who claims to have bought a 4br house for less than $300k in a secondary city and that prestige is the only reason to live anywhere else -- how this all started -- that they must be in a quaternary city at best.

Dude, I made a playful comment lauding secondary cities. Two posts later I said “to each their own, amigo.” You made this into such a bigger thing than it ever needed to be.

How am I supposed to know who is who when everyone is posting anonymously?

Anyway, want to see X Ambassadors in Stamford with me? I've seen them twice, they put on a good show.

Sure—sounds fun, buddy. After that, you can visit me in me “quaternary city” where we can drive from my house to an MLB game in 20 min.

I'm in, but can we take public transportation so we can both get drunk? Otherwise there's no draw for me.

We'll just uber and not have to deal with panhandlers on the subway.

Not the NYC guy (I have never lived in NYC), but "Asian market with great sushi"?? Surely you're not saying you can get Michelin-starred quality sushi from an Asian market, c'mon man.

I'm in suburb of a West-coast city, and the city does have what I consider to be Michelin-starred quality sushi, though it does take 15 minutes to drive there. But I'd be a fool to pretend the Japanese market's sushi is anywhere close to that quality.

lmao thank you. This guy acting like the "tapas place" in his office building park is up there with Casa Mono.

Food snobbery is the douchiest kind of snobbery, and so prevalent these days among big law types ... maybe because paying too much for food and then telling *everyone* about it is the most immediately accessibly bougie status symbol? I'd trade listening to people blather on at me about their stupidly expensive car or box seats at Yankee stadium for an entire year over one more person talking at me about Michelin stars.

I never said that the Asian market had Michelin star quality sushi. But if I wanted that, it's available 15 minutes away instead of 5.

Indeed. The NYC stans have moved from "If you leave NYC all you will eat is Panera" to "My tapas place is better than your tapas place"

Yeah, we get it. NYC has a wealth of high end restaurants. Some of them are even very good. If you want to pay $4,500 a month to rent a shoebox in order to have access to them, more power to you. I've done it. Was fun for a while, but couldn't fathom doing it long term unless my family were all from the area.

In what world is an 800 sq ft apartment a shoebox? Suburbs brain is real.

I agree food snobbery is lame, but $4500 isn’t necessarily getting you a shoebox, even in today’s red hot rental market. $4500 could get you a decent 2 bedroom or very nice 1 bedroom in all but the hottest neighborhoods.

Nobody said 800. Regardless, you keep picking the most useless battles and missing the forest for the trees. You're also the only one who keeps throwing around made-up words like suburbs brain as if they are an insult. Just chill.

I didn't read any of this thread but just wanted to say one thing - LA has better food than NYC.

Yeah, I haven't owned a car in 12 years and you probably drive a Ford F350 to your job as a lawyer, but sure, I'm a shallow consumerist.

Personally I don't care about Michelin star restaurants or the theater. But I like not having to drive regularly, so that limited my options to pretty expensive places + Chicago off the bat.

I drive my car I've had since college. Down here they teach you the value of maintaining things.

I know that aint for you though sir. A high class gentleman like you shouldn't step down to such a low level. You have plays to go see and table cloth restaurants to eat at. Yes sir yes sir.

I’m the OP of this ungodly digression on secondary markets. How did we end up on cars, why is the NYer just making random assumptions about what cars people drive, and what does not owning a car in a city like NYC have to do with consumerism? Seriously, this is just getting dumb(er).

I actually like how my NYC life has a smaller footprint. You end up buying less “stuff” because you don’t have a garage, basement, attic, or a bunch of closets or extra rooms to keep it in. You may end up spending more money, mostly because of high rents and a culture of eating out, but it doesn’t feel particularly consumerist to me.
