This weekend I had a little refresher in why I love city life so much when I took a trip to go gallivanting about the Five Boroughs with a friend of mine from prehistory (he did sing the Flintstone’s theme song during karaoke):

•  Taking the subway everywhere, not having to worry about parking or traffic
• Noshing on knish ’round noontide
• BYOB karaoke bar (and people brought a lot)
• The Younger Than Jesus exhibit at the New Museum; it was amazing to see works by people in our generation, to see artists our age express themselves in new, innovative ways
• Walking around neighborhoods, taking in the sights
• Frequenting hole-in-the-wall eateries for such delicacies as curry katsu and mandu
• Walking past the Empire State building with a bag full of beer
• Barcade - a bar/arcade with old skool games at a quarter a piece
• The Mac store on 5th Avenue that’s a giant glass cube and that was packed at 9:30 on a Friday night
• Dropping $35 at a Kidrobot boutique
• Sake bar, even after having to sheepishly ask if they could recommend something cheaper
• Having some guy randomly call my friend and me cocksuckers for apparently existing
• Did I mention BYOB karaoke?
