I stayed in NYC in an apt on the corner of NYU for about 3 months during the autumn BK (before kids). Even held down one of those Disney balloon characters in the Macy day parade.
I remember walking all around Manhattan every day, stopping at each of posh hotels to have a drink. We drank Martinis back then.
There was some ancient Egyptian exhibit at the Met? I had a deja vu in one of those ancient houses. I thought I found my roots. LOL. Is the cloisters still up there? I loved that city. I cried when I had to leave.
I remember the weather was cold but kind of nice.
I didn't mention it was a one room apt in NYC and we cooked food on an electric skillet. We could only afford one Martini a day during happy hour and the best we could do was to walk around the city and dream of being rich someday. Great honeymoon, though. Those were the days! LOL
How can anyone afford to live there today?
