people don't truly realize how expensive this city is. sure it's a "known" fact - but do they really understand it? you count $6 tolls and parking a car at $10-15 an hour in a garage while you shop/party ($5 extra if it's an SUV) and gas at $3+ a gallon and $10 drinks (we're talking GG vodka/water - p.s. hangovers are significantly reduced here since everyone drinks premium vodka - goodbye $2 drinks from Sharky's!) alas, it is a very expensive and exciting place to live. there's good news. if you're going out in the city, you're surrounded by people who can afford this lifestyle. if you are out in the trendy clubs, ordering bottle service ($300-400 a bottle), you're surrounded by people who are accustomed to this. i hope my acclimation to this lifestyle parallels my bank account, the longer i live here. i'm really banking on that - pun intended.
transit in nyc has done great things for me. for one, i'm forced to walk almost everywhere. this has benefited my sense of direction, as well as my waistline. i've decided that any form of transit in the city (whether subway, train, or bus) is directly reminiscent of the flashing images/racing boat scene in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. (actually, i'm going to add "riding in the car with david" to this transportation list) it's actually quite fun. i am growing accustomed to driving in the city, myself. i am really very good at it. i took the girls (kristin, jenna & emily) on a tour this saturday and they said i proved to be an excellent tour guide and that my driving skills confirmed that i was "born to live in this city". okay, i'll stop tooting my own horn. i just said tooting. mmkay...
i'll leave you with this picture of Ivanka Trump and i...(at the Stuff Magazine Cocktail Party) in person, she's very tall and has huge boobs. (both available at Bergdorf-Goodman) ;) x's and o's
