hoke Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I'd rather work in midtown because it's closer to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Why does your girl wish she worked in midtown? Hoke has a good reason, but that's the *only* reason I can think of for wanting to work in an overcongested, tourist-ridden, overpriced part of town.

Well, I live in DUMBO, and downtown would be close, and she lives in ASS-toria, so midtown would be close to her.....but the other reasons are:She likes midtown because it is more "lively" and has "more interesting people"And I like downtown because it seems to be more serious and the money seems to be better.Please remember .....these are just our humble opinions........

bustaknut2001 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Oh Lord...I can't believe there is a question about this. Midtown sucks ass. It's near Penn Station where all the Long Islanders pack like herds around rush hour...tourists wandering the streets clueless (as if this is a nice area to see) and trashy people walk the streets. I hate midtown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work as far downtown as you can get, Water Street, off Wall, there is nothing doing around here except for maybe the Seaport and a couple of local bars, Midtown has much more doing(for the after work scene) I always have to take the train further uptown, it can be a pain, Then I always have to go back the other way when I'm done partying(no sleep till Brooklyn)Stone.

I wouldn't much prefer that area either. There's nothing fun to do on your break. I'd sometimes rather stay indoors than venture out through the crowds in midtown. They push, they shove, and they stink. All those money hungry people around the wholesale fashion stores are pigs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now your post makes sense to me- again, I thought you meant you worked in the village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturephunk Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 . . . I think we should equip all newyorkers with a nerf bat (one of the semi-rigid ones so it's got at least a little punch when you swing it) . . . and then allow normal citizens to ask to see ID from people in midtown . . .. . If you cannot produce a valid new york ID , then by law, you should get whacked by at least 10 New Yorker's wielding the standard issue nerf bat . . . . . Also, in the interests of community . . I think we should have what I call the "Midmorning free for all" . . It's quite simple . . everyone between 9-10 A.M. working in the midtown area gets to go down to the NBC studios on street level and whack the shit out of every tourist they see . . all the while screaming: GO BACK TO YOUR OWN STATE, MOUTHBREATHER!!! . . . .

nycchic24 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 on phunks note.... i think they should divide sidewalks like highways... one lane is for tourists (cuz they have no idea where the fuck they are going and they walk too damn slow) and the other lane is for new yorkers -- the fast lane. heheh.. just my thoughts one day as i was trapped in times square one day and miserable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
