Rate This City: Day 6 - NYC

[DonB90]

MTA expected to hike NYC subway, bus fares to $2.90 before Labor Day

The hike is part of a proposed package of 3 to 5 percent increases in transit fares and railroad ticket prices, plus a 6 to 7 percent hike in bridge and tunnel tolls.

Metrocard still cheap af $33 for 7 days

A 7 day card to ride raggedy ass Metrobus in Miami and stand in the sun for 30 mins waiting on the next bus while ppl in cars look at your in disgust for being a broke nikka is $29 for comparison


Travel the entire city for $4.25 a day essential. GOAT American city

And wtf does NY do with their homeless population

In Miami, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, OKC, LA…felt like I saw hordes of homeless folk.


But somehow in NY don’t feel like I came across em like that, and I was out and about all day and night, getting back to hotel around 12-3am.

They are on the A train after 11pm....a lot of them on the A Train

A whole bunch of cities with no foot traffic so you notice the homeless more. Its human nature. When Covid hit and Mid town Manhattan was deserted it looked like The Walking Dead out that bytch

Maybe it’s cause I’m not used to public transportation but this sounds dumb as fukk

They need to stop pricing out people who live out here It’s supposed to be cheaper

Love the city, food and the hoes. But I'll be goddamned to pay $3000 for a 1 bedroom.

Unfortunately this is the problem and one of the reasons I don't live there. Even Newark got expensive. Very unfortunate

Visited earlier this week, stayed primarily in Harlem. GOAT neighborhood/ city .


Got some food at Melba’s, an event for a black women’s hair Broadway play was happening next door. So naturally dimes in abundance all thru out.

Harlem Nights bar is dope. Dude that impersonates Denzel is a host out there as well. Chill but lively vibe all around, age range probably 25-55.

I’m leaving the bar…had to be about 1, I hear what I think is a block, but I’m like why tf does it sound like it’s moving closer to me….







Caught Chappelle at MSG. Dope fukking arena, seats was actually comfortable compared to other ‘NBA’ arenas. I think what made it different compared to the other arenas I’ve been in, is that it felt like the ceiling was super low.



(Chappelle brought out Burna Boy as a surprise guest….before he came out, DJ was getting everybody hype and standing with some 90s/early 00s hip hop. Old/young, black/white/Hispanic, etc everybody bopping.

Burna comes out I shyt you not all the white people sit down in unison along with old head black folk.

It was only young black folk and probably some Hispanic rocking out to his shyt. Had nikkas looking around and dappin each other up on some solidarity shyt.

Then Travis Scott comes out, all the white people stand back up and cheer. I’m talkin 60 year white folk who don’t know any of the words, barely fukk with hip hop.

I didn’t realize Travis ‘crossed over’ that much)

Good looks for staying for Harlem. I like when black folks stay in black parts of any city.

Dope ass city to visit, would NEVER pay to live there


Numerous things to do, diverse food, very walkable city…also very expensive


I’d give it an 9/10

Finally in NY..flew into Brooklyn today, but going to Manhattan tomorrow & we’re staying there till Saturday.

This city is amazing everything you need is walking distance or a quick hop on the subway.
