Amanda Macias/Business Insider
After renting in the Upper West Side for two years and fed up with my reliance on the temperamental No. 1 train, I decided to look for a new apartment that had more access to trains.
My search landed me in a year-long lease in the neon heart of New York City - where I had 12 subway lines to choose from.
As 2016 comes to an end, and an estimated 1 million flock to watch the famous New Year's Eve ball slowly descend, here's what it was like to live at the center of the world's third most visited tourist attraction.
NOTE: My rent skyrocketed - believe it or not - and I was forced out of my beloved Times Square neighborhood.
