I would have enjoyed Erin Geld's ode to Graham Avenue if she had used the word "twas" and "faeries" in some way in her most purple of prose.

Can't say the same for "West Bushwick," though.

The worst part is she'll end up in Bed-Stuy (where someone has cleverly sold her parents a loft in "Park Slope"), and she'll walk the streets with her best friends that go to Pratt, whilst drinking (in public, so edgy!) and kicking over trash cans because "it's so fucking punk RAWK!"

maybe she is a thirteen year old who somehow traveled nine years into the future to visit her older self. and maybe she can go back in time and stop hanging out with douchebags before it's too late.
I love how fatalistic she is about her hipster destiny, though. "I've been born to a life of PBR and coke parties, which I must face, for it was written ere the dawn of time! le sigh."

Eh, the noobishness I can easily forgive - that "first look" at New York can be intimidating, but I think she'd get used to the place faster than she thinks she would now - but there's no excusing the irritating assholes she apparently rolls with.

Though I find it oddly comforting that there are people still using such outdated reference points as Rent and Friends when they imagine the New York of 2007.

Not really, Kitt. Especially when they imagine The Warriors when thinking of the train at 9pm or Fort Apache the Bronx when they leave the hip West Elm styled apartment in the morning searching for breakfast.

I propose a new reality TV show where Chris Noth confronts different "New Yorkers" and explains to them why they must leave. He is, of course, free to run his hand back and forth over his bristle of hair during these interventions.

Let's remember that this is a person who writes "rock-and-roll," so I'm sure their definition of hipness includes certain nights of American Idol and styles of sweater at J. Crew.

Towards the end of a delicious, elegant meal with David's family...Too nervous to take a subway at that hour

At which hour? 10pm (Or maybe dinner rate late...11pm)? From the Upper West Side? Yeah, maybe she's not ready for the city... although I hear the subways fill up with angry negroes and koran-waving arabs once the dinner hour passes...

TedSez — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 16:12:52 EST

It's worse than you can imagine. From the Village Voice in 2005:

"The inexpensive west Bushwick loft apartments may be hummus-happy, drafty roach citadels, but they are filled with musicians and crafters who create by-hipster-for-hipster entertainment at home. One loft contains an indoor skate park; another (a former opera house) has a yoga studio. I saw a post-punk Lauper-wannabe on stage at an art space that seemed to serve homemade moonshine. Archive, a film library and coffee shop, hosts screenings, chats, and occasional music."

In other words, her friends live in a big ass loft off the Graham Ave. stop on the L train. Yes, the life of the hipsters there must feel like a totally different world from that of the hipsters two stops down.
