Manhattan Shade

The act of lowering your own rent by charging new roommates more.

Person 1: "How can you afford all of these new toys...isn't your room like $800/month?"

Person 2: "Nah, I'm pulling the Manhattan Shade on my two new roommates...they're each paying $400 more than the guys who moved out. Suckas."

Manhattan Free Shit Zombie

Because they pay a fortune to share a one bedroom apartment with Craigslist dipshits, buy 15 dollar martinis and 5 dollar coffees, expensive shoes, clothes or “man bags,” many of the younger denizens of Manhattan are usually broke. Because of their penury, which they are loath to admit, this group will turn to free or very inexpensive events to kid themselves that they're having a good time living in the overly expensive and neurotic shithole they call home.

Use of websites like Group On and Meetup is common. When a free venue is found (Free days at the museum, gratis concerts, movies and plays in the park, esoteric bullshsit lectures) they will turn into shuffling zombies, pack these venues to the rafters and squash any bit of fun you might have by inducing claustrophobia or annoying you with their "Got to crowd every little bit of experience into my fabulous life" insanity. When you see these people waiting on lines a block long they look like something out of a George Romero film.

Shooting these zombies though the head, although the preferred zombie eradication method, will usually lead to incarceration in a penal institution. Avoidance is the best tactic. And the only way to steer clear of Manhattan Free Shit Zombies is to go to events and venues that charge a fee. Any event with a price tag of over twenty dollars is usually sufficient to repel them.

Dylan – “Say, you want to go to the Guggenheim and check out the new exhibit? They don’t charge admission on Sunday night.”

Roger – “Fuck that shit. The place will be crawling with Manhattan Free Shit Zombies. Lets go have dinner at a nice restaurant instead. They can’t afford that."

Sally – “Want to go to Governor’s Island and catch that free reggae concert?”

Hilary – “Free shit. Must have…….”

Manhattan

One of the most expensive places to live on the planet, but presently the center of the Universe, much like Rome was during the Roman Empire.

The average price for a 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan is $1.4 million. (2004)

Manhattan

In Manhattan, the only ones left are the super rich and the fucking nobodies.

Don't sweat it, Jake. It's Manhattan.

Manhattan Center

Ignore the first definition. Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics is a constantly-improving school (which was horrible 30 years ago) with a good learning environment. The school may be half-full of assholes, but the rest of the students are in fact nice people who care for each other and others' well being. Don't judge a book by its cover. In this case, the school. Did I mention it's across from East River Plaza?

Boy 1: Hey, look over there.
(looks over at a group doing dumb stuff)
Girl 1: Quick, let's get to the bus. I don't want to be seen around them.
Boy 1: Agreed. They're a disgrace to Manhattan Center, they should be transferred out.
Girl 1: Good point.
