Tudor City

I live in a part of Manhattan called Tudor City. Why do I live there? Well, an apartment popped up that had everything I wanted: an elevator, a doorman, a bathtub, laundry in the building, and in my price range! Turns out Tudor City is more affordable because it’s leased land. I barely understand what that means, and don’t wanna try to explain it. But you get the gist. Anyways, finding an apartment in New York City is intense! And I'm beyond grateful to have found my gem of an apartment. But a running joke I have is constantly being asked "Where's Tudor City?”. I try to explain, Tudor City is a neighborhood unto itself. With so much rich history. Katherine Hepburn lived here. Dick Wolf, the creator of LAw and Order lived here. I even heard Sondhelm wrote “Company” here. I implore you, look it up and learn something about New York City! It's not Murray Hill, it's not Kips Bay, it's not in New Jersey, it's not Midtown. Yes it's by 41st and 2nd Avenue, but it's Tudor City goddammit! And I won't hear it be called anything else. One of many great things about it is my local train station is Grand Central which is fucking gorgeous and iconic. And now that I'm no longer afraid of riding the bus, I can just jump on the M15 and go downtown where all the action is! A cute, cozy, charming, classic, old school New York neighborhood in Manhattan.

Real time traffic cameras

You can look at most corners in Manhattan and a lot of good ones in Brooklyn. You can watch the sunset from over the hudson from Chelsea , you can watch runners in Central Park, you can watch protests go over the williamsburg bridge. You can triangulate it with find my friends and Citizen and feel like Batman

sending your friends letters in the mail

Nothing is sweeter than spontaneous mail!! Go to your local post office, buy some stamps, sit down, monologue your current feelings/thoughts/ideas/drama/complaints on paper and send it off. If you're lucky, your friends will write you back and if you're like me, you can hoard every letter you've ever received and then read them back and revel in your own nostalgia.
