    I do wish people would be more adaptable when it comes to your content. It's so unfair people push you to go out and do "entertaining" things during a pandemic? You're doing what you're comfortable with. I understand, it may be boring to some, but pushing you to go out and explore for content during a global pandemic, nah. Especially in NYC. i love your homey apartment vlogs. i feel like we are on facetime. and i definitely need that since i live alone and I'm quarantined during my senior year.

    Someone fill me in.. So people are pushing for her to be out in nyc and enjoy her time during a global pandemic. ( Also keeping in mind she’s in a major city so safety should be her top priority, not having her expensive camera and phone out to vlog and not being aware of her surroundings). But friends of her and even her own cohost gets draaaggggeeed for going out. If someone can explain the logic to me in a respectful way that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Brooke, I think it would add a little something in the vlogs to start showing the city when you do go out! Not that you need to vlog the entire time you're out, but montages of the city & views would be cool :)

    honestly i love how your content has been focused more on staying in during this time especially in wake of the pandemic, where many "influencers" have seemed to be promoting the opposite. as someone who recently moved to a big city in a pandemic too, watching your vlogs has definitely helped me feel more at home!!

    I truly hope that you end up having a different/more positive experience, but for me/in my opinion, the NYC dating scene has been absolutely awful over the course of the two years that I've lived here. Just adding in how my own experience has been! Don't want you to lose hope though, and I think it's great that you remain optimistic and have a positive outlook on it. But is anyone else in the same boat as I am in?! Please tell me yes lol

    Hey Brooke! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and am happy to see you’re living your best life in NYC. I felt compelled to say something because in your answer with regards to safety I feel you left out a huge part of what’s been going on that city over the past several months. Over the first half of 2020, homicides increased by 21% and shootings increased by 46% compared to same period in 2019. And in the first 7 months of 2020, murders have jumped 30%. In the month of July alone, the number of people murdered rose by 59% and shootings increased by 177% from the same period last year. Crime has dramatically increased in that city and people are fleeing at levels never seen before. Whether you blame that on the lack of leadership and enforcement of the law or COVID, I think it’s important to acknowledge. I hope you stay safe and I am happy to hear NYC has been a treating you well so far

    Lolls, first time ever commenting. But I kinda disagree. I’ve lived and worked in Manhattan for 6 years and all those previous years NYC was a lot better. It’s very different now, as it should, of course we’re in a pandemic but like it just doesn’t feel like New York anymore. Also I live on the upper Eastside and it just seems like crime has gone up in some parts of the city so I don’t feel as safe anymore. I use to never feel unsafe at all, but now I do. I just kinda wonder if you’d have a different opinion of living in NYC now if you weren’t so close to family too. Like I’m 600 miles away from close friends and family. I do hope and I really want NYC to recover and come back though. I absolutely love the city. Anyway, thanks for helping the city out and I do enjoy your content.☺️
