adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Living in NYC having these three things in one apt is a never-gonna-happen-unless-you’re-loaded-or-super-lucky jackpot. I’m looking for a new apt and can’t figure out which one I’d choose if I could only choose one. 

So- tell me internet, if you could only have one: Washer & Dryer, Outdoor Space or Dishwasher?

  1. aaannnaaa answered: outdoor space!
  2. willrunfoodwine answered: Definitely a washer and dryer. (And good luck!)
  3. agirlinsandiego answered: Washer/Dryer definitely!
  4. lilmissobsessive answered: If you’re living alone, washer and dryer. If you’re living with a few other people, dishwasher. outdoor space can be walked to.
  5. themeetingplace answered: Washer and dryer. There’s nothing worse than having to wash your smalls in front of your neighbours!
  6. girlinpearls answered: Washer/Dryer, second place would be a dishwasher. Walk to Central Park if you need some outdoor space.
  7. stretchoutyoursmile answered: Washer&Dryer, no question!
  8. noticethings answered: w/d for sure!
  9. bobbaer answered: washer and dryer
  10. wander-lust answered: washer & dryer hands down.
  11. graceinplace answered: Washer/Dryer … without question. There’s nothing better than having it conveniently inside your home!!
  12. dondicobb answered: Washer and Dryer!!!
  13. bewuethr answered: W&D, or move to Zurich and have all three :)
  14. svrspy answered: washer and dryer. If I had to go elsewhere to wash my clothes, I would just go buy more and then I’d be broke. 2nd want is outdoor space.
  15. theladieloves answered: washer and dryer
  16. marco answered: Dishwasher. But the washer & dryer are tempting. Our new place in the suburbs has both, but not outdoor space, and it’s pretty awesome.
  17. stellarandblonde answered: Dishwasher…no question!
  18. cadyheron answered: washer/dryer MOST DEFINITELY

  21. my-own-melt answered: outdoor space
  22. noraleah answered: So we have 2 & 3, & 1 is in basement. Don’t hate me! ;)
  23. sabinaaa answered: washer & dryer for sure! definitely in the building, an absolute dream if in the apt. outdoor space is a v. close 2nd
  24. besttoeastcoast answered: washer & dryer!!
  25. stellag answered: Outdoor space! Think about sitting there, with a cold beer on a summer evening. I’d carry my laudry 30 blocks for that.
  26. dancingkitchen answered: washer/dryer.
  27. 395103 said: We have both the outdoor space and dishwasher, but our apt is the size of a storage closet. WORTH IT.
  28. holyshirtsandpants answered: washer- dryer - hands down
  29. angrygirlfrienddiaries answered: Having a washer and dryer is the most luxurious thing and saves so much time!
  30. thepinksuperhero answered: I live in NYC and have none of the above, but I’d take a washer/dryer if I could get it. Such convenience!
  31. youfancygirl answered: outdoor space
  32. mdfsmash answered: that’s tough but i’m going with washer & dryer.

  35. hobohappenings answered: Washer and dryer easily. It saves both time and money in the long run.
  36. littlelg answered: washer/dryer. I had one when i lived in Brooklyn and its the one thing I miss about my old apartment!
  37. nyminute answered: Outdoor space! It’s so nice to be able to go outside without having to traipse to a park or cafe. But a dishwasher sure would be nice, too.
  38. thebrokenstringsinsideus answered: Washer and Dryer. laundry mats are creepy.
  39. fourgoingonfive answered: dishwasher. a laundromat can wash your clothes. No one else will wash your dishes.
  40. pinkhotel answered: Washer/Dryer.
  41. brendanmc answered: Outdoor space. Hands down.
  42. buildingaladder answered: Washer & dryer!! That is my “I know I’ve made it” mark.
  43. iammiki answered: Easy: Outdoor Space…especially if you have a dog :) Washing the dishes is no biggie and if the building has a washer & dryer, you’re set!
  44. monkeychow answered: WASHER AND DRYER!
  45. caro answered: Washer/dryer. I’m lucky enough to have a laundry room in the building, but it’s only open from 9AM to 11PM and that’s a pain.
  46. efstein answered: outdoor space followed by w/d. I find the dishwasher less important when living solo. BTW i had all 3 back in those chelsea days…sigh
