All settled down and FINALLY enjoying NYC

So for those of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, which by the looks of my followers is only 2 people, (That's embarrassing) I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past few weeks! It's been a pretty crazy past couple of weeks with moving into my AWESOME new apartment in Stuyvesant town. (And yes by NYC standards I'm bragging that my apartment is pretty damn awesome except there's no exposed brick, sigh) Not that I know what the deal here is with exposed brick anyway? I guess that's supposed to make you feel more "New York" if you can say you have exposed brick in your apartment. I guess it just lets people know publicly hat you're paying A LOT more than someone without it. Here's a quick view of the place with and without furniture in it.

So for those of you who know me, you know I was apartment searching for a VERY long time, but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Don't settle for something that is just alright in NY because I bet you can do better. I now live with 3 amazing roommates from NC, Chicago and Connecticut and I'm excited for the journey we are about to embark on! (That's pretty corny isn't it?) For entry-level young professionals looking for a great place in the city I highly recommend Stuyvesant Town! It's a few blocks from Union Square, right next to the East Village which has the best hangout bars and atmosphere for young people (in my opinion) and it's surrounded by greenery, fountains, volleyball courts, basketball courts, bocce ball courts etc. It's a little gem that not many people think to look AND you can bypass a brokers fee by going straight into the management company. I HIGHLY recommend doing this as it will save you A LOT of money!
