God I Love Manhattan..

[Mr.Bill]

Rent is insane in Manhattan. I've taken refuge in Queens. One subway stop in and a beautiful view though.

manhattan is retarded. my brother lives in brooklyn and i always go down and visit him. we go out to eat in brooklyn and the price is comparable to where i live. we go into manhattan to eat and the price is four or five times what i'd pay in brooklyn. it's absolutely stupid. it sucks too because manhattan has the coolest "feel" of all the burrows.

Another thing that doesn't help is IIRC the #1 tourist place in the US is(or at least in the top 5)-------------------NYC/Manhattan...

And like any other tourist trap... You want to see ridiculous prices? Go to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. They rival Manhattan.. $35 for a burger and such..

It might be me..

I was near the WTC 2 days before 9/11... Now I miss these shootings this morning near The Empire State Building by 24 hrs..

I'm either very lucky, or a bad omen..

BTW Bill, if you want to do a day in Manhattan without spending so much, you definitely can. All the places you went were in Midtown. Everything costs an arm and a leg there. Try going down to the Village on your next trip. There are no shortage of great bars and restaurants to check out and you'll make it out with half the bill.
