Hello peeps.
Mach reporting, from the cold cold Big Apple.
Yes, I’ve finally moved here for good, and I couldn’t be happier. I have been here for a bit over three weeks now, and weirdly NY already feels like home. I won’t lie, I was a bit scared a first, a 22 year-old in a humongous city like New York, but here I feel like I can actually be whoever I feel like being.
Living in East Village has proven to be the best decision ever. The place is crowded with cute little restaurants and bars, and is alive at any time of day or night, you always have something to do, or someone to talk to. The best thing about this part of town is the authenticity. You get to escape from the skyscrapers and the huge-ass buildings for a second and enjoy life at a smaller scale, even if you can still see the greatness of the Empire State Building and its friends from down here! I swear to God that if I had one wish in New York, it would be to have an endless stomach, in order to try the billions of restaurants this city holds. For now, I have started my quest to discover as many restaurants as I can here, but dude is the choice hard and diversified…
So, here are some tips from a freshly born New Yorker:
- NEVER judge a book by its cover, the best foods I’ve eaten where made in the least appealing restaurants. (ex. Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles)
- Kind people actually do exist, and you can fall in love with a city.
- Shared VIA rides are happiness therapy.
- Opportunities are all over, sometimes hidden in the weirdest of places.
- The greatness of this city is worth a thousand Ted Talks about how awesome life can get.
I’ll keep you posted about how the city’s doing from time to time, and remember…
“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.”
