We have an easy drainage system! If you are affluential enough to live on Broad Street then a channel covered with wooden planks will carry your waste away. The smell won't affect you for long as it will soon be carried away right into the beautiful Hudson River valley. 

Our schoolmasters are known for having a wide array of knowledge on various topics. The local gravedigger will be teaching your sons the art of arithmetic right in his living room. His wife may be tending to crying babies and cooking pottage a few feet away but that is only to ensure a well rounded experience!

New Yorkers eat so many oysters that they have become building material for much of the architecture. Our settlers grind them up and use them to pave the roads. Walking down our colonial streets mean you're walking all over last night's dinner party appetizers!

Well.. sorta! Renting a room doesn't guarantee your own space. Just a space on one of many beds. But don't worry, you'll still wake up with your boots on. 

We get this question a lot, no worries! New York is full of barbers that can get that leg reset for you. If you chipped a tooth they can pull it right out for you, as well as that bothersome lump under your rib. Check out any shop featuring a red-white pole to get diagnosed and serviced!
