Does Manhattan have any thrift stores? (And I mean REAL thrift stores....not 'thrift' stores where you pay 800 dollars for a used Armani suit)
Then not really. The Village used to be loaded with them. Today they call themselves "vintage clothing stores," which just means used, and they charge you 500 bucks for a used leisure suit from 1975
.
Also, it might be interesting to look on youtube at some of the apartments in Manhattan. You can live in a closet a few blocks from Times Square for 900+ a month.
And even those are on the way out. Those old sro units are disappearing by the day.
Also, as a part time math tutor, I've heard stories about tutors in Manhattan getting $120 per hour to do SAT tutoring....that's fucking high school stuff. I tutor at the college level and feel bad about charging someone 20 bucks an hour.
Manhattan academia. Who can explain it?
