My friends fiancé had a ring in the family which saved him the hassle, maybe you can be as lucky as him. Even then they might want a bigger better Diamond.

Some places offer financing. Also you can do a custom ring today and pay it little by little and they give you the ring once it’s paid off. It can be a few months it can be a year.

Idk if you have a credit card but if you have good credit and open a new credit card with Discover or someone similar they offer 0% interest for the first year. I did that with my TV and PS5 and “financed” it with 0 interest and paid it off in about 6 months

I don’t consider myself financially responsible btw so maybe someone else can shed some light on it.

Ask her. Do not choose the ring. We do not know rings. We do not understand the differences between princess cut and radiant cut diamonds. No one will be able to help you.

What I did was look up engagement rings on Instagram. I found a post that showed different cuts. Then I sent it to her telling her the one I like. Then she naturally told me what I like is ugly and she told me what she likes.

Also most girls care about how much it is. You need a fucking microscope to find the differences between the diamond and it’s quality but nope, my gf knows somehow.

You’re probably right. I know they have one in NYC.

Also since you’re Australian I would bring a really big knife. If someone tries to mug you using a knife say “that’s not a knife” then pull yours out and say “that’s a knife”

Works everytime

Born and raised here. Made a list of restaurants to try for cousins visiting pre covid. I think they all are still open. This is not in a particular order just places I think are staples of the NY restaurant scene. I’ve tried maybe 70 percent of this list and have found 0 places I don’t like. They’re spread out the city covering every borough not just Manhattan.
