    If I were single, I'd move to LA and seduce a young actress.

    Not a fan of those cost of living conversions. By far the biggest difference maker in these cost of living calculators is the difference in real estate $$. I don't consider the extra $$ you have to pay in mortgage as a waste at all.

    Are these friends a bunch of wannabe models/actress with no real career upward mobility?

    Seattle is a cheaper and more casual san francisco. It's all right but if I had a choice SF is superior. SF is one of the best cities in the USA though. Seattle is still pretty solid.

    I know 1 is an aspiring actress.

    The only thing i can't deal with is too much rain. Rain depresses me. I need the beach and a cool breeze. That's why San Diego is #1 for me. But, i admit Seattle looks really bad ass on that episode on whichever Anthony Bourdain show.

    I've lived in Seattle for about 2 years and I've only visited San Francisco. I would say Seattle is just as nice of a city, if not better, plus you have the added benefit of no state income tax where California has one of the highest.

    I hear the Olive Garden in Times Square is top notch.

    Levain Bakery on 74th street for the best cookies you will ever have. The choc chip and walnut cookie is close to the best thing I have ever eaten.

    It's not a single bar. It's numerous bars in an area. Which if I remember correctly is a Jewish neighborhood that was emptied (and abandoned during WWII) and stayed that way for many years. Until before the buildings were tore down they started converting them into different types of bars. Very cool area.
