Modern Love

I generally think the New York Times' "Modern Love" column on Sundays is one of the greatest wastes of space in the entire newspaper. The only other thing that comes close is, well, pretty much the entire Sunday Styles section. And of course, anything written by Amanda Hesser.

But there was a quote in this story in last week's edition that made the whole thing worth while. It read "to survive in Manhattan, you need three things: a good neighborhood dive bar, a support system of friends and a plump salary."

Amen to that--particularly the first part.
