We're comparing Washington Heights to South Beach, now?
sad but true.this is what I was talking about.
the conversation has just degenerated into some garbage you'd be embarrassed to partake in.

COCKTAILS AND WATER Eight friends met at La Marina on Tuesday in time for happy hour and stayed for the sunset and a meal.

A misty, not-quite-full moon hung over the railroad tracks on Tuesday and peered quizzically onto an expansive new waterfront spot in Upper Manhattan, featuring candlelit cocktail tables, twinkling lights, a beach bar with beds and a covered 200-seat restaurant. La Marina in Inwood, open for a month, seems to be trying for a Miami-on-the-Hudson vibe, but it’s still closer to the South Bronx than South Beach. The incongruity of such a sprawling paradise at the end of Dyckman Street, several blocks from the A train, past broken glass and bingo players, never quite disappears. On weekends, the deck and beach bars are jammed, but this weeknight, the atmosphere was just comfortably buzzing. Patrons smoked hookah pipes in the patio lounge while a modest band played. Diners watched the sun set behind the Palisades, summoning still-learning wait staff. Firefighters, police officers, bankers, romantics, families and old friends converged for the scene and the company. Jet Skis whined on the river, kayakers glided in the moonlight and the George Washington Bridge burst into crystals of light, making the spectacular setting worth the trip.

La Marina, in Inwood, has been open for a month.
IN THE SEATS Close friends working at or around the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center as emergency medical technicians, a nurse, a radiology technician, a police officer and a real estate account manager: Cynthia Diaz, 34; Jess, 28, and J. C. Hunt, 39; Noemi Ortiz, 42; Orlando Rivera Jr., 33; Boris Sullivan, 32; Andre, 36, and Joyce Clayton, 34.
WHY THEY CAME They planned this outing a month ago for a night when they all had time off. Arriving for happy hour, they stayed laughing through sunset and dessert.
ON THE PLATES The table started with a half dozen oysters ($1, two orders of shrimp cocktail ($12 each) and two orders of fried calamari ($8 each). For the main course, five diners ordered skirt steak with potato gratin and broccoli ($24). Two ordered the crispy-skin salmon with summer squash and asparagus in a lemon-chive butter sauce ($24). For dessert ($7 each) there were two tres leches cakes, one Chocolate Experience (oozing), one Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée, and two orders of Il Laboratorio del Gelato sorbet. For drinks there were margaritas and pineapple juice with Ciroc vodka ($12 each) and espresso with Sambuca ($5).
WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT “Oh, we’re making fun of each other,” said Jess Hunt, one of the E.M.T.’s. They were teasing Mr. Clayton for being the only one to have weekends off. Mostly, they swapped frustrating, funny work stories. Two weeks ago, Ms. Hunt and Mr. Rivera, also an E.M.T., were on break eating rice and beans. A woman asked if they were eating falafel. They said no, but the woman punched her arms in the air and shouted: “Yay, falafel! I love falafel!” The gesture is “like the new ‘Tebow’ ” said Ms. Hunt, as she and Mr. Rivera raised their arms in unison and cracked up. Ms. Hunt was also relating the story of how she met her husband, a Bronx police officer: she had to pronounce an 87-year-old woman dead in her apartment, and Mr. Hunt filled out the paperwork. Less than two years later, they were married. After dinner, the group walked to the railing beside the water for a photo, the bridge shining behind them. Ms. Clayton, the real estate manager, said: “This is going to be a gold mine.”

i love it when people put their foot in their mouth...there's a reason i walk around here wit a certain diddy bop.
yeah so everybody be tanning and swimming by the Harlem River. FOH
Son forgot that there's no beach in da heights
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I'm from NY. But no way would I ever want to move back. Watched my moms worked day in and day out to pay for the $1200 two bedroom apartment that we stayed in. You literally get nothing for what you pay for. I'm genuinely convinced folks stay there for the sake of saying they live in New York.
Really? I take the ATL police test this Friday....They always come to NYC looking for new recruits. They literally said they need "real men". Bad move? My girl graduated as well but if she won't be able to find a job around there I might as well relocate somewhere else.Damn near impossible to find a job there. Housing and apartments are dirt dirt cheap. I mean you can buy a fairly new house slightly out of ATL for like 100k in a safe area. That should let you know how cheap an apartment is in ATL. But like Rell said, there is always no jobs. Its so hard to find a job out there. Some yall be going overboard with the homo talk though. Its not like everybody in the city is a homo. NY probably has 10x the amount of **** as ATL does.Atlanta has no job opportunities. I've heard that from a number of people on here and those I know personally.
For my NJ dudes, can someone answer my Hoboken question. Cats is crazy to be moving to Newark just for cheaper rent. Worse than ENY tenfold.
So...You don't live in NYC? I mean if you want to come here and waste your money (Unless you're making almost 6 figures) I don't see why rent matters. You're wasting your money regardless.is da rents that bad all throughout the city, even Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx?
like if there were places within any of those areas that were reasonably priced and with maybe 40 mins of the city by train, id could see myself being happy...
correct, don't live there...but if the right opportunity came up and everything else was right, don't see why id turn it down...So...You don't live in NYC?

Well, do as you please and live as you please. It's your money!correct, don't live there...but if the right opportunity came up and everything else was right, don't see why id turn it down...So...You don't live in NYC?

But everything is expensive now, even in the Bronx, boards are setting salary minimums at outrageous numbers, just for say, a $1200/month apartment. That way none of the minorities in NYC can afford it. Gentrification is real. But yea.
