I moved around a lot growing up (Pennsylvania, California, Saudi Arabia), but I've lived in Texas the longest, that's where I say I'm from. I moved to New York almost 7 years ago because it was a dream to live in the big city. I love this city and I never want to leave. I have to say that I love urban lifestyle so much, that I've become a bit of a city snob. It's only because New York is the greatest city in the world and I can't imagine being in the suburbs. It would be great to meet someone who shares the same passion of city living.

I love trying out restaurants, I like going out but I’m not into crowded bars or loud clubs. Give me a nice lounge, wine bar, neighborhood joint with good music and I’m happy. Each day in New York can be a new adventure. There's always something fun to do, from Broadway shows to street festivals to museum exhibits. On a lazy Sunday, my favorite activity to do is sit in Central Park with a good book and people watch.

I enjoy somewhat of an active lifestyle. I go to the gym regularly and on weekends, I love to run in Central Park. When the weather is nice, I love going hiking followed by a good barbecue. I just completed my first half marathon and I plan do do many more.

Because I moved around so much as a kid, I caught the travel bug at a young age. I like to travel out of the country at least once a year. There are lots of places in the world I would still love to visit.

Why am I here? I like meeting new people, especially those I wouldn’t usually come across in everyday life. If you’re smart, fun, and easy to get along with drop me a line.

I work as a creative professional in an agency environment and I love my job. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my friends, whether it's catching up over dinner, brunch, or drinks after work. There are so many great things going on on New York, so I like to take advantage of what the city has to offer.

I love all kind of ethnic cuisines. I'm partial to Indian food, but I also enjoy Middle Eastern, Greek, Italian, Mexican and Vietnamese. New York has just about every kind of restaurant you can imagine.

I enjoy reading and belong to several book clubs. I read anything from fiction to memoirs. My favorite book was The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri and I'm currently reading the historical fiction, New York by Edward Rutherford.

I don't watch as many of the new shows, but my current favorite TV shows are Revenge and Mad Men. Reality TV is my guilty pleasure!

1) Family

5) The energy of the city
6) Sleep

Places I want to travel to...so many on my list, but not enough time :(

Depends. Usually, I'll grab dinner with my friends and catch up or go to a happy hour after work and have a couple of drinks. If I've had a long week, I often prefer to chill at home and watch a DVD and order food in. Unless I have a special event, I won't be out too late on a Friday as I try to be good and get up Saturday morning for my favorite gym class.

I hate dancing! I know...it sounds lame, but I'd rather sit at a bar or lounge and drink and have a conversation, just don't drag me on to the dance floor! There are lots of fun activities I love to do, dancing just isn't one of them.

You liked my profile, you're looking for something serious and you think we'd be a good match. Also, you live in NYC and enjoy city living so much that you don't want to leave. Sorry, but New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island, and Connecticut don't count as boroughs. This is about wanting to find someone who shares a lifestyle preference.
