I found out I was going to be an intern at the Wall Street Journal on Feb. 8, 2010.

A little more than two months later after countless hours of research on Craigslist looking for a sublet, I was lucky to find a place in the East Village of Manhattan.

Now another two months before I head to the Big Apple.

I don’t know what this blog will evolve into. I don’t really have any ideas at this point for what I want to do with it, but now that the housing hunt is over with I figured it was a good time to start to really documenting the adventure.

There’s no way I can be in the greatest city in the world for 10 weeks and not document what takes place.

It’s an incredible opportunity and I want to take advantage of it in every way I can.

The coming weeks will mean more research on the East Village and looking at Google Street View because I like to prepare and I try not to leave any stone uncovered. But there’s a lot of stones to uncover in New York so I’m not sure what I’ll do.

Yelp has already been an incredible resource. I’ve found there’s a good burger place down the street from my apartment. There’s a Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods not far either. Who knows what else I’ll find.

So follow along if you’d like. We’ll have some fun for sure.
