Also, everything is so damn dirty. How do New Yorkers hold on to railings in the subway then molest pizza slices before eating them without a thought? Every little thing is caked with exhaust-grime.
Venting cause I come from a wooded area so I usually miss the fresh air.

Anyway, back to being upset about the city having too many people.

settling for mediocre halal is still better than settling for taco bell or a frozen dinner from the supermarket imo.

Is it? Who has higher standards?

Actually Taco Bell in NYC is probably the lowest you can get.
I will wait in long lines if I have someone to talk to, RARELY... otherwise, fuhgeddabout it. I have a MoMA membership and go in the galleries about 3x a year. Too fucking crowded, ALWAYS. (they have members-only previews, which I never go to for unknown reasons)
ian, wanna go to late 1920s vaudeville shorts at the FF Monday night? (or anyone else)

Honestly I am just grouchy -- in finals and had my job offer pulled away last minute for economic reasons. I normally don't make these kind of complaints and happily just go to the seventeenth best brunch or whatever.

Plus my neighborhood still has a relatively nice balance where you can go to really good places that AREN'T always insanely jammed, with the exception of maybe Frankies Spuntino which I haven't been able to get a reasonable wait time for yet. Also Lucali is crazy, but if you show up before they open you don't wait so long.

I think long lines that are not equivalent to the payoff are pretty endemic of every big city!

the solution is just not to eat in manhattan unless you have to

Don't eat in Manhattan - brunch at least. Below 110th.
People in Brooklyn get to spend less, and avoid Euro-handbags. And there are actual food people cooking.
