For giggles, I've compiled a partial list of things to avoid:
- Having a Barney's credit card
- Shopping on 5th avenue in general
- Brunching at the Four Seasons
- Celebrity Hair Stylists (Unless his name is Michael Aaron, then it's totes worth it)
- Shopping anywhere actually
- En-Suite Sky Garages
- Wanting a penthouse at the Time Warner Center
- The Rose Club
- Frrrozen Haute Chocolate at Serendipity
- NYC Opera
- Helicopter Tours
Face it, your expensive taste will never go away. And if you're just starting out in NYC you can't give in to it, not yet anyways. Patience is a virtue, you'll get there!
