Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

vw, I like the black better. It's got a crisp look to it that the gray doesn't to me.

Hard to say from the photos, but probably the black. And in that first picture, you look freakily like my little sister. Except I know IRL you don't. So that makes it more freaky.
I made this to-do list, and I feel like I got tons done...and yet, hafl the list isn't marked off. What's up with that??

Now tagless for your comfort.
I like the gray-which is VERY odd for me. I'm usually much more into black.

Mostly lurking...
Alright...everyone seems to agree (oops! Nope! Hi, Cashmere!). Black it is. I am wearing a nice pink shirt under it. It's just hard to see it in the pictures.
And aren't the shoes fabulous? They're like 2.5 inches high. I hope I don't trip and fall!

I think the shoes are awesome (and the black suit looks great, too, vw). They definitely add some height.

Hey. New board.
Good evening Bitches. Long time no post.
There are some New Yorkers here, right? Is there a particular bank you recommend for newcomers to the city? Preferably someone with good ATM access in manhattan and maybe the ability to get a high-rate, low-limit credit card without too much effort (I'm not picky, just want to start building up some sort of credit record before trying to rent an apartment in the city).
For that matter, any advice you can give me on moving to NYC to live alone would be great. I have housing provided by Columbia for the first year, but after that I expect to be fully lost.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Citibank and Bank of America both seem to have ATMs everywhere.
As for advice, what sort of advice are you looking for?

Hey. New board.
Well, I think I'll be able to handle myself mostly, I was just thinking that if somebody knows a particular mistake in adjusting to the city life that I could avoid. I am curious about what groundwork I need to start setting to be able to get an apartment without TOO much hassle in a year's time, as having a place to live seems like pretty much the most important part of being there.

Most bank websites have things where you can enter a zipcode and find the nearest ATMS--you could try a few banks, and see how many ATMs pop up.
The first few times I went to NYC, it seemed like everyone was getting their cash from those little ATMs in convenience stores. I couldn't figure it out--why was everyone paying the fee? I think my friends were just lazy or something. :) The last few times I've been there, I've had no problem finding a BofA ATM. Not that I necessarily recommend them (though I've had no big problems with them either, I'm sure someone can tell stories).
