I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps

Big Apple, New York, Empire States...

Non American have different expectation when it comes to Big Apple. New York to most non-American is just Manhattan and its surrounding. To them, the capital of the state of New York is New York City when it is actually Albany. New York is too urbanize that Buffalo is not in New York.

To them, Newark, New Jersey is more 'New Yorkish' than upstate cities like Albany or Buffalo. It is safe to say, non-American think New York covers only Manhattan and probably Queens, Brooklyn and several cities in North Jersey.

A friend of mine even argued that, Niagara is not in New York. It's too 'rural' to be New York. Misconception. New York City and New York are the same.

When asked on if what to do with infinite amount of money, a girl responded in a 'bimboish' tone;
"I would probably working in New York. It's vibrant. Melting point. Everything is there. It's the centre of the world."
"I would live in a penthouse in Manhattan" she added.

It's a bimbo's dream. Probably from watching too much Sex and The City or Gossip Girl.

If I were to live somewhere near New York City with that money to spare, I'll live in a seaside mansion in The Hamptons. Own a helicopter, or at least timeshare or have a fractional ownership, to transport me to and fro from The Hamptons to Downtown Manhattan. It only PanAm/MetLife building still permit helicopters to land and take off, that's even better. Own a yacht. Shopping? I'll just ask my personal shopper to buy for me, or bring the store to you. Just ask a representative from Saks to bring a trolley full of garments. It's literally bringing the store to your house. Well, how hard it is to choose a preppy Polo shirt and ecru pants and golf shoes. Go online.

Penthouse in Manhattan 5th Ave? Sure! That's my guest house. That is only if I have jillion dollars, need to be near from New York City. Other options include any seaside cities in New England. Martha's Vineyard, Newport or Providence. Who needs a city view when one can afford a sea side mansion.

Yeah, I watch Revenge and Royal Pains. Not a bimbo.
