[quote=Anonymous]As someone who lived in NYC at the time, it depends. The first half, until about 1995, was rough economy wise, there was a recession with lots of layoffs happening, and I know many people who graduated college in 1993-94 and went to fold sweaters in GAP store. The crime situation was pretty bad too, people don’t realize how dangerous some of the currently upscale neighborhoods were. Lots of cool artistic stuff was happening, though. From 1995 on, it was awesome. Jobs were plentiful, crime plunged, and the arts were still flourishing. Plus there was an insane amount of hope that all the wars and arms race are finally behind us, and there will be only peace from now on. Of course that was all shattered on 9/11 and then the dot com recession hit. [/quote]
