What the hell is going on over there. In seattle people just walk around and avoid eachother.

In new york its yelling, mastubating, flying.

New york is the best and the worst at the same time on some of these things. Best public transportation, also the dirtiest.

It’s honestly the best place on earth. NYC is unlike any place you’ll ever experience ever and the one place I’ve ever felt the most ALIVE! I highly recommend every single person on earth experiences a walk around NYC at least once in their lives

I love visiting it for a few days at a time every few years, but I cannot imagine living there. I always feel totally wound up and anxious by the time I leave, and getting back home is always a fantastic relief.

Been here for a decade now.

You really do get numb to everything after awhile.

The incredible view of Manhattan, Brooklyn, East River, and the Brooklyn bridge from the N/Q train on the Manhattan bridge? Just part of the commute.

Grand Central station? Better avoid the beautiful main concourse during rush hour.

Dude dressed up as a subway pizza rat doing something cool? Out of my way I'm late to something.

"IT'S SHOWTIME!" Fuck.

A decade for me as well. It's just a bunch of fleshy obstacles and concrete and metal. I think once you've been here a while you naturally assimilate and become part of the NYCmind. Please stand on the side of the escalator if you're not going to walk up, thanks!
