[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It was the days of two feet on the ground, hardworking, enterprising people from all over without a buck in their pocket could go there and live their dreams. You could find cheap drinks at places in Soho and hole in the wall restaurants out of a Billy Joel song. Not everyone who lived in the village was a trustfunder who's Dad worked on Wall Street, actually most of them weren't at all. Vibrant neighborhoods that had personality and hadn't been overtaken by corporations and instagram didn't blow up every authentic place with a soul. Now it's a miserable Mecca of the very rich and very poor...[/quote] +1 This. NYC used to be a place where people took creative risks. People would move there to be in a place where others were doing that. Creative types have moved to the Hudson Valley and elsewhere. They haven't been able to afford NYC for a while. [/quote]
