Manhattan is a great place to visit, I went there all the time when i was living up by swifty.
That said I cant imagine living there unless you get like a great job. Everything is so damn expensive, even in the stuff off the beaten path. I mean if you're already living in like Jersey where the prices are that high but its not manhattan go for it but I wouldn't want to live there on the kind of income I have, and considering you live in an effiiciency you probably aren't much better off.

edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously?
