Its been 2 weeks now. And I thought I'd muse on some things that I've noticed about New York (from a Georgian's point of view).

* Approx. 75% of New Yorkers wear black clothing daily.
Its true. Look around and you'll know exactly what I mean.

* After two days at work, I hate tourists.
Since I work on 5th Ave, there are TONS of pepole walking around with their heads pointed straight up looking at all the pretty buildings. Whats worse is they walk 3-4 people wide.

* 5th avenue divides the city.
You hear a lot about East whatever, and West whatever. Here's why. If your on the east side of 5th ave, then all the street names are called East 54th and vice versa. Not only that, but numbers start at 1 and grow outwardly from 5th. So 1 W 24th street is across the street from 1 E 24th. Got it? Good.

* Brooklyn is awesome.
You wouldn't think it, but Brooklyn has some amazing places to check out. Prospect Park, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Williamsburg, etc... Each has its own vibe and great boutique shops, coffee houses, pubs, and amazing restraunts. I'm still learning where everything is at, but enjoying the process.

* Chick-fil-A does exist!!
Its called Chick-fil-A Express and only one in the entire city. Its on the NYU campus. The challenge is to see if I can get into the building to eat there even though I'm not a student. Its the real deal though. I've been told by many different people.

Thats good for now. I'm only 2 weeks in, so I'm working on it. Got any questions?
