NYC Housing Crisis

 How is this helping the poor and middle class people? 

These apartment buildings are very expensive with rent starting at least 5K a month. 

Besides the rich, who could afford these prices?

New York City Tourist Hot Spots

If you're thinking about traveling to NYC, here are some hot spots that are must see!

I'm a New Yorker, been there all my life.

As the times changed, so did NYC, at one point it wasn't the hottest city to visit.

Back in the day it was horrible, the crime was high, in some areas it was dull and full of abandoned buildings. With all of that going on, it's my home and I wouldn't want to be from anywhere else. I grew with NYC, I've seen the changes over years, the fashion, the food is like no other place. As we move forward, NYC is that city that everyone wants to visit.

What To Do While On Lockdown

Hey Friends,

Since we're all on lock down because of this stupid Coronavirus/COVID-19, here are a few ideas to help get you and your family through this weird time.

On your next trip out getting essential items, grab a few board games and some Uno cards to make your family night exciting.

Schedule a family movie night on the weekend.

Since it's spring and we can't really enjoy it, do some spring cleaning. Get rid of all that junk from 3 years ago. Rearrange some items in your pantry, throw away those old scratched up pots! Give your home a deep cleaning.

Write in your journal, it'll help take away some of the stress.

Stop watching the news every five seconds...you're going to send yourself to the looney bin before summer.

Have lots of quarantine sex with your partner, trust me you'll thank me later!

Make a list of everything you want to get done and tackle it each one on a weekly basis.

This is just a few tips to help you get through this quarantine life that we all are living. 

Stay Home...Stay safe...Wash Your Damn Hands...Save A Life!

Crime & Coronavirus In New York City

Outsiders think NYC is this fun and fabulous place to visit and live the life of luxury. I agree that NYC is beautiful, fun, the IT place to vacation, but it's going to cost you some heavy bucks and the crime in some areas is on the rise. I'm a New Yorker, I'm speaking from experience.

In the 80's into the 90's people started leaving because of the crime and the cost of living was rising. By the time the 2000's hit it was almost impossible for some New Yorkers to afford their apartments. Nowadays, there's a lot of renters looking for roommates to split the cost of the rent and other bills.

Brooklyn among other boroughs has become gentrified.  Out with old in with the new, but it's going to cost you to live there. 

While new buildings are being built and new faces are in the area, the crime is on the rise and it's back with a vengeance. 

I'm not saying that it stopped but it did calm down a bit.

Within the past few months, it has been terrible things happening. Let's just say the 80's has come back, purse snatching, robbing for sneakers, jumping and beating on people. It's a whole mess! The best thing to do while you're in NYC is to go out during morning and afternoon hours, get back home before mid night. 

Even though crime is continuing to rise, we now have to worry about the Coronavirus.

So many cases has come up and it's a scary situation, but if you keep you and your family sanitized and continue to research on how to keep from getting sick, you and your family should be ok.

This Coronavirus is spreading like wild fire, I hope and pray that a vaccine is made and it slows down so everyone could stop living in fear. Until then please be safe.
