Can't Cut It In Brooklyn? Try Buffalo.
Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier.

Want a three-bedroom apartment on the park with front and back porches, an office and stained glass windows for $795? Try Buffalo. New York Magazine has the tale of a Brooklyn couple who decided to forsake their $1,300-a-month Sunset Park pad for bigger and better digs on New York State’s western frontier. Several ex-New Yorkers wax philosophical about their post-NYC lives, too. I don’t miss my old life in New York,” one says. “I only miss the life in New York I know I never would have had.

LOL, I haz. I hate to be even smuggier, but I haz even more than two toilets now (but alas, only one kitchen). When nature calls, it’s great having options. But it’s even greater when friends and family visit and I don’t have to have the little bakery-style take a number machine in action.
Thanks for the smiles and enjoy you’re multi-loos.
“my advice of course is to stay away from ghetto neighborhoods”
Please provide your definition of a “ghetto” neighborhood, wine lover.
*blush* Thanks Lurker!
Thanks 11217. Shortly after 9/11, there was a brief piece in the New York Times Magazine written by a New Yorker who felt so attached to the city, particularly after the attacks. I have it sitting around somewhere. It was incredibly moving as well and helps people, even those of us who live here, remember why we love this city so much.
Have to think on that biff- you know some of them have jofros so probably wine lover would feel uncomfortable with them around. They could wear hoods, but the safer solution is to bleach their hair and go nordic. 😉
I do believe you were quite happy about hazzing two toilets, Biff. I also recall I had to get into quite a long explanation about how two people (and a pre-schooler) living in one home might all have the need to relive themselves at the same time, and that two toilets easily facilitated this (I believe I used the word “doody” a number of times). This evolved into a Zen Koan-like meditation on how many kitchens one reasonably needs to brew two cups of tea.
And with that, I say goodnight.

Just read this article in the NYTimes from today. I enjoyed it. I got goose bumps about the part about the girl who was having a rough time, then saw the skyline on a flight and realized she was home. I still feel like that every time I fly in from LGA. I thought the article was kinda pertinent and it talks about the difficult and wonderful aspects of living in the big city…

*sigh* I only haz one but its in a bbiiiigg bathroom. Does that count?
I remember that infamous thread. You made the rest of us disenfranchied renters proud that day, I_haz. We salute you!
Thanks lurker in the mist. Can my Jewish friends still qualify to live in an “ethnic white hood”? I know they’ve historically faced incredible hatred when trying to assimilate with other “ethnic whites”.
