Talking to my dad, who grew up in NYC, today about the city brought the hype back for me. I don't think I'll be able to go, but it's fun to think about.

You see, I should be more concerned about that, but I could absolutely see myself going into an unreasonable amount of debt to go to NYU

Make us hyped again! Tell us about living in NYC.

You never have to have a DD because cabs are (reasonably) affordable or there's always public transit
rooftop bars
halal food carts
the waffle truck
Lots of coffee shops that aren't starbucks (Read: corporate pisswater)
Broadway lotteries
Nothing ever closes. You want to go buy a home theater system at 2am? BAM! 24 hour best buy. You want to stay out all night drinking? BAM! 4am closing time for all bars

the IFC movie theater is awesome
Every band you like will play here. Period.
Your friends will come visit you and you never have to leave again.

The architecture here is incredible
I could keep going, but I really need to write "Why Michigan" so I can't get too hype about NYC.

You had me at "waffle truck"

It's called Wafels & Dinges

Omg.

Are you telling me I can have waffles for lunch AND dessert and get them both from the same place?

Sooo what you're saying is that I should write my Why NYU exclusively about fried foods, right?

I love me some rooftop bars.
I'm actually having friends over this weekend to go up on the roof of my building and drink while we watch the sun set behind the Manhattan skyline.
So jealous....

+1

That sounds magical
