Any words of wisdom for someone moving to NYC for college?

My relationship with NYC has been entirely post-collegiate, so I’m shooting for general NYC advice instead -- hope it gives a little insight at least. 

My key recommendation for all people moving to New York City? It’s okay to hate it sometimes. This is completely biased by the fact that I hate this shitty sinkhole of a city, but nothing is more despairing than being surrounded by assholes who have drunk the goddamn kool aid talking about how great and fucking fabulous getting a half-hearted reach around in the form of off-Broadway theater tickets for less than $100/a head is while getting brutally drilled for your condemned bedroom in a railroad apartment -- which should also probably be condemned. New York is expensive and exhausting. You are not doing it wrong if you hate it sometimes. Or are like me, and hate it most of the time. 

Other than that, here are some cheap eats to check out:

King of FalafelShanghai Deluxe CafeMargonKalustyan (2nd floor)Anywhere in FlushingDrop by AstoriaMake the trek out to Murray Hill (the one that’s in Queens) for Korean sometimeIf you want to get fucked up on the cheap, apparently a really good place to go is Ninth Ward, as I learned last week. Just remember, two-for-one well drink night is an offer, not a challenge. Do not pick up that gauntlet when you have to go to work the next morning. Or I guess class.

And since you’re a student, take advantage of the actual tremendous cultural opportunities there are in the city: visit the Met a lot, visit the MoMa a lot (why does it have a design that makes it impossible to display such a huge amount of its incredible collection? only Satan knows, anon), maybe go to the Whitney while you are drunk. Definitely do not go to the Frick (aka, the Avengers Mansion!) while you are drunk because they do not like that. At all. Go to the Natural History Museum. Check out the Museum of the Moving Image. Go to the Neue and feel ripped off there isn’t more Gustav Klimt and worry about Egon Schiel (just like, as a construct) and then go to their marvelous in-house cafe and order the apple strudel. TRUST US on this one. 

Also go to the High Line. Eat a Melt Bake Shop Morticia ice cream sandwich. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR GOD DAMN LIFE. 

I’m actually tagging merelyn here because I’m a downer cow and she probably has better advice.
