It's rated just right
If your experience in New York wasn't as good as you thought it would be then you're doing it wrong.

Some of them simply do not care.Originally Posted by KingJay718
It is funny how a lot of families are like sardines in a can. There's a lot of dudes got that a ton of sneakers, fitteds, jewlery etc, yet still at home, sharing a bedroom with their cousin and lil' brother, while not trying better their situation. Thank God I don't have that problem. I can chill in my room, while I look at New Jersey, the G.W. Bridge, and the Hudson River.
Who cares about being 25-30 years old, living at home with no intentions of moving out, or trying to better yourself in any way possible?
Getting fresh comes first.

Overrated! Drug dealers on every block practically. Lots of rats crawling the street. The place is usually filthy. Sure there are a lot of beautiful womenthere, but you tend to see hoodrats before you see them. Too much damn traffic! Bunch of homeless people. Music being played loudly at all sorts of hours untildawn. Too many damn motorcycles that operate recklessly. Bunch of drunk drivers so be careful driving home from a club. Call me a hater, but I'm not intothose sort of things anymore. Can't front though, growing up there was a goldmine of fun. Every day in summer was a new adventure back then.

I mean if you are into living or chilling in a "hood" area that isn't that violent, than sure it is. However, I don't like it. I drove therea few times to pick up this chick from school that I was seeing and it just isn't me. Sure you got all those stores, clubs, and w/e else. But it dependswhat you are looking for. If you are looking for more upper level clubs and entertainment you aren't going to find it there. And I don't smoke so thatHaze means nothing for me. Than again, it's not hard to pick it up here in Brooklyn anyway.

It really is that great, or maybe it's because I'm Hispanic and feel at home there

As I agree with you on what you've said (my heights days were from 1997-2005), that motorcycle thing is on point. And if you think it's bad there, goto the motherland. I was shocked that there weren't 30 deaths a day. needless to say, i rented a scooter and rode around buck wild picking up 17 year oldsusias and doing things. fun things.

I can't believe this thread, sure Washington Heights has a lot of "culture" but why would anyone wanna live here? Drug dealers,"goons", hood rats, real rats, roaches, noise pollution
, crackheads,overpriced housing, it's far from everything that's good about NYC (Downtown, midtown, Alphabet city).
The good:
Delis, food, bodegas

Anyways, I spent the first 18 years of my life in the heights and wouldn't have want it any other way.
Where else can you find kicks at like 20-30% off on the regular? The Heights is one of the few places in NY with true mom and pop shops overstocked alwaystrying to get rid of something so they can make room for new stock.
Food? We dont got no 100$ a plate spots but for 20$ you can hit up el malecon and get a full chicken large rice large abichuela, tostones and a drink(somethingthat normally would feed 2-4) for one as a regular meal. Just want a snack? Pastelito people on every other corner all seasons for only a buck, summer? friofrios all day and cant forget 50 cent icees, nothing like a cherry/coco when you take a trip to the store.
Women? Just step foot in the heights, not even ride the A train and just look at what gets on and off from 145-193.
Thats only a few of the things that makes the heights so great, cant even get started on the haze, nutties, barbershops, cars, clubs..etc
Anyone from the heights who cant brag about it probably never stepped foot out the heights and realized how lucky they are to be in such a place that remainsconsisntant with everything it produces..Nuff said
