Something I have noticed about movies that are based in New York (which is like...ALL of them), people always have these very beautiful, ornate, fabulous apartments. There are details like ceilings that have crown molding, arched doorways, wood floors, glass french doors inside the apartment separating the rooms, and a bunch of other zoom-zooms and wham-whams that this Northern California lower-income girl will not get to see for another 10 years or so...
Are apartments like this the NORM for the average person or is it just like that in the movies because boring apartments like the one I live in don't make it into movies?
Yes, we ALL live like Donald Trump or Leona Helmsley here, so come on down, you'll love it!
Actually, you've stumbled onto the reason that there are SO MANY questions in here from people who have only seen New York City on TV or in the movies and they think it's really like that and they flock to move here, sight unseen, by the thousands!
No, sorry, unless you really ARE Donald Trump, life in NYC can be tough. VERY tough! And expensive, too (however much you just thought of when I said "expensive," double it!)
Good luck, and the link below is to a loooong list of movies set in New York City...
