This morning we went out for breakfast, bill came to $75 for 2 people, we each had eggs. She also had a lemonade.
My point is that absolutely everything in NYC is super expensive. I can totally see where she is coming from. But yes, don’t have 3 kids if you can’t afford to.

The only thing you've proven here is that neither you nor your daughter has any idea where to buy affordable groceries or which restaurants to frequent. I've lived in NYC for over twenty-five years, and my weekly grocery bill has never come anywhere near $260, nor have I ever gone to breakfast with another person and had the bill come to $75.

Not everyone eats low quality fried cheese at bodegas with cats urinating on the stove. Anything better will be PP’s costs.

You don’t know the city and neither did the father moving his daughter. She’ll figure it out though.

I do. It’s pay to play. If you want quality food you’ll be paying a fortune at Wegmans or Eli’s. Have fun with your expired mango from Juan.

You keep doubling down on your lack of awareness. Sorry to tell you bluntly but you sound like a fool with these statements. I suggest you get off of dcum and go explore NYC.

There is some PP here who apparently spent one summer internship at a 3rd tier investment bank living in Yorkville, and now he believes he knows that the poverty line in NYC is $1.5 mil for a family of 5.

Sorry you don’t make 1.5mm a year (Sad!). And sorry you can’t even afford Yorkville (which isn’t that nice outside 120 East End Ave….)

Never worked in investment banking. My family set me up well enough that I don’t have to have a career like that.

Barf. Check your privilege and you didn’t build that.

Nope. Manhattan, its real estate, and its amenities are made for people like me.

Sure, sure. Again, plenty of unearned privilege and no, you didn’t build that.

Tell it to your therapist. No one at the trustee meetings care

No therapist needed in our FO. You’re just another tacky npc. Real money whispers.

Mrs. Astor, David Rockefeller, Ken Griffin, Michael Bloomberg, and Steve Cohen were or are never known to whisper. You sound like one of those people with a few million who are bitter about those with tens or hundreds who you occasionally work or socialize with, and overlay with sweeping generalizations that are largely inaccurate.

You obviously know nothing about living in NYC or where to find great food (at grocery stores or in restaurants) for less in its boroughs. To take the Starbucks coffee as an example: I have no idea where the person who helped his/her adult child move to NYC went grocery shopping, but a 1 lb. bag of coffee is $13.95 at an actual Starbucks store.

I’m actually a native New Yorker. But I will concede that we were on the Upper East Side and the grocery store was D’Agostinos. The breakfast was at EJs dinner, not exactly a fancy spot.

Why were you on the Upper East Side? Unless she’s going to Hunter College or Marymount it’s more of a White people family area. Trader Joe’s is a better deal than some of the more popular NYC food stores.

Why would anyone leave Manhattan or the smell nice part of BK for “boroughs”? Let me take a ferry to buy cheaper groceries on SI….. not!

Have you been to NYC? Manhattan is a mixture of nice neighborhoods and rat/cockroach infested neighborhoods. Queens, Brooklyn specifically have some really nice neighborhoods and some hellholes just like Manhattan. It’s not like in the movies.

Queens does not have really nice neighborhoods. It has one okay place (LIC) that is largely made up of foreign or second generation professionals and is sterile. BK is okay from BK Heights through Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene and Park Slope are wildly overrated.

No one is disputing north of 96th in Manhattan sucks.

You just verified that you have never been past the tourist areas. A bunch of real idiots have jumped on the last few pages.

Never worked in investment banking. My family set me up well enough that I don’t have to have a career like that.

Some of the new condo buildings in Yorkville are pretty nice. 20 East End. 200 East 83rd. 301 East 80th and 301 East 81st. And a couple more on the way. Not bad if you have a kid at Chapin or Brearley.

Postwar honey. Yuck!

I was with you for a lot of this thread, but if you don't like Stern buildings, I am not sure what to say. I'd much rather those than some of the pest-infested, window/wall A/C unit, creaky plumbing plagued pre-war places on Park.

Stern buildings are an extreme outlier in Manhattan postwar construction in their tastefulness and elegant proportions. Most postwars are tacky 60s/70s architecture you can even see on Fifth. Then you have the supertalls, which are polarizing.

Agree. That's why I listed a couple of them above as condo buildings in Yorkville I like.

I mean, not in a VHCOL area. What’s difficult to understand about that?

People in finance and tech make that much or more AND they work many fewer hours with much better work/life balance.

I totally get a Big Law Lawyer thinking “is this it????”

Correct. Big law takes the cake for awful somewhat remunerative career path. You’re much better off in tech and finance.

Some of the richest owners with places in the best neighborhoods are foreigners.
