I lived across the street from Noodle Bar. I could barely stand it, because you're there all the time; you can't get away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad and my uncles owned a bar outside of Cincinnati. I worked there growing up, mopping floors, waiting tables.
I can't stand outside myself and be anybody else.
I feel like I've set the bar fairly high, and I want to keep living up to that bar.
I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.
I moved away when I was young, when I was about 19. I'd literally come from an area with dirt roads and stuff like that, right to the centre of a city of about five million people. It's been great. I'm based in New York, and every day, it's amazing.
I needed to move, but I haven't had the time to find a place to go.
I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.
In Hoboken, when I was a kid, I lived in a plenty tough neighborhood.
I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.
I never eat in a restaurant that's over a hundred feet off the ground and won't stand still.
