It took us 13 hours (and 13 years) to move to New York City. Apartment hunting hell and job hunting during recession was part of the deal of moving to the greatest city in the world. The challenges are worth every amazing experience we’ve had here. There’s always something to do. There’s never enough time. Roaming around the streets here is pure joy. This is our personal NYC story.

$5 Bottle . . . Classy
One night on our way home from dinner, we got out of the cab to make a stop at Union Square Wine Shop. We stayed in the discount section. The result was going home with three bottles for under $25. This Astica Malbec from Argentina may not be the tastiest wine, but it's not bad for $5. The "this is like drinking rubbing alcohol" facial expressions start diminishing for every glass of red you polish. Gotta love the first harsh sip from a cheapo wine. By the fourth glass, it's your favorite wine.
The Union Square Wine Shop has a lot of variety. But we prefer our favorite neighborhood wine joint - the Chelsea Wine Country.
