Help Pirlo Out

[Gotham Gator]

He recently said this in an interview:

"(excited for) MLS & for success with the team, but I want to immerse myself into New York, to live like a New Yorker."

So, what kind of things would you recommend he try in order to achieve this goal? Or, what kind of things do you now expect him to be doing as he goes about life like a real New Yorker?

 

[Gotham Gator]

Personally, I look forward to seeing him in his pajamas, idling his car at the curb on alternate side of the street parking days.

Getting shit-faced playing darts on the UES, rolling into the Stumble Inn and playing beer pong until 4:30am, then grabbing a shitty slice of pizza while tripping over yourself on the way home.

Next morning, coffee and bagel sandwich....go out, score on free kick to beat Montreal.

Perform Matrix-like escape maneuvers while being pursued by Dart Man, Hammer-Yielding Man, and Machete-Swinging Man.

Get stuck in a crosstown taxi behind a municipal garbage truck. Be 20 minutes late for practice.

This sounds more like "being younger than 30" than "being a real New Yorker".

Pirlo's already a "real New Yorker", given that there's a pretty large contingent of rich, cosmopolitan expats living in Manhattan.

I suppose he could rent a too-small apartment in an uncool outer-borough neighborhood with a five to ten minute walk to the subway and feel a bit "realer".

Per How I Met Your Mother:

• See Woody Allen (although not so much anymore)
• Steal a cab from someone who needs it more than you
• Cry on the Subway and not given a damn what anyone thinks
• Kill a cockroach with your bare hand

Wait an hour in line to order from Shake Shack

Cus out a taxi who cuts you off.

 

[JGarrettLieb]

Get a shitty rap CD shoved in your hands, then have the guy ask you for money.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Move to a 5th floor walkup with bad plumbing and no A/C.

Lose all hope in humanity

Spend 70% of your income on rent.

This with a roommate. He could come live with me. Sleeping in the spare bedroom would be optional.

Quit soccer, move to Brooklyn, and open a craft brewery or artisanal pickle company.

He has a lot to do in the evening (by skype?)
