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.

Pac-Man and Beer
On a rare bar-hopping night, we ended up at d.b.a on 41 First Avenue. d.b.a. stats: They're known for their large selection of scotch, tequilas, and beer (usually over 250 varieties), open from 1 PM to 4 AM daily, has a large back garden area and a quirky baseball shrine, and a few "old school" arcade games.
When we went in the summer, all the seats in the garden area were taken but there were ample seating in the bar area. So we decided to spend our time playing the classic Pac-Man, which isn't so easy when you've had a few. The crowd was uber young (mostly college types to mid-20s), but we felt the youngest at heart that night playing our game. Then again, most of those kids probably didn't grow up with Pac-man the way we did. They'd probably call it a "vintage" game. What's an arcade? Oy.
(I didn't include a link to their website drinkgoodstuff.com because when I attempted to enter their website several times just now, it froze up my computer).
