The OP had one of the most magical experiences you could have in New York. The ridiculously high monthly cost of the apartment unit aside, this person was more than happy to leave their room and settle into another part of the building.

This guy wound up becoming roommates with an aspiring model. He and the model were complete strangers who happened to share a cab. One thing led to another, and he found himself staying in a one-bedroom apartment with a gorgeous woman. If things like this are common in New York, we’re moving there right now!
