“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…

Online mobs getting people fired is nothing new. Whether someone deserves to get fired over bad takes has always been an incredibly contentious debate.

Moving to a new and unfamiliar place can be overwhelming. While there's no rulebook for adapting, it's common knowledge that when you are new to an area, it's advisable to sit back, take time to understand the neighborhood you're living in, and probably don't call places unfamiliar to you disgusting sh*tholes. Unfortunately, not ev…

“Only in New York” is such an overused sentiment. Even as a New Yorker who often feels as though I've seen it all, something about it can feel a bit off, or self-congratulatory. But then I remember “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” and am glad that my fellow city-dwellers simply love to share stories that are often an amalgam of

Every New Yorker and even tourists agree—she's doing the Lord's work.

America is a big, beautiful mess. Each state has its own unique identity, some so distinct that many Americans can easily recognize a state based on a few key characteristics. Redditor u/Thomas_The_Llama recently prompted the people of r/AskReddit to describe their states without revealing any names, and the resulting thread is very entertaining (unless, of course, you're not American , in which case you might be a little confused).

In possibly the most NYC moment of all time, an argument between two men on a subway platform turned violent as seen in a viral video shared by The Daily Show host Trevor Noah. Things quickly escalate and one of the men jabs and misses, hurling himself onto the subway track instead. The other man rushes over and pulls his contender up from the track to safety. The video ends with the two men appearing to reconcile whatever differences pushed them to violence. We love to see a happy ending.

Ah, the woes of renting. Anyone who's experienced the daily little annoyances that come with living in an apartment building full of hundreds of other grumpy tenants likely understands that 'loving thy neighbor' is sometimes harder than it looks. Even the politest souls can resort to furiously scrawling passive aggressive notes for their inconsiderate neighbors if buttons are pushed hard enough. One can only take so many sleepless nights hearing apartment 5b blast Justin Bieber at ungodly hours…

Thanks to the impressive popularity of @whatisnewyork, hundreds of renters regularly send the account all the hilariously weird and passive aggressive notes they find in the apartment complex lobbies of New York City. Seeing these notes all in one place really paints a picture of the woes of renting in a tenement full of high-strung, stressed-out, irritable people. Though, to be fair, not all the notes are full of rage. Some bold neighbors use lobbies, laundry rooms, and elevators as their perso

The best thing about New York City is arguably all the beautiful bodega cats
