Sub-board: WANTED CHARACTERS!

the infamous coney island boardwalk, lined with rollercoasters and merry-go-rounds and game stalls where you can win giant stuffed animals and concession stands overflowing with fried and/or sugary food. perfect for dates or just hanging out with a bunch of pals.

the center of everything new york, times square is always packed with people going from here to there to everywhere. make sure not to get distracted by the elaborate store fronts or all of the billboards, because you might just walk right past where you’re going!

a street of theatrics and musicals and singing, dancing, and acting, broadway practically smells like drama queens and fist fights.

called pandemonium once upon a time, fuss is just a new name for the same old thing. techno music and dry fog and strobe lights and a bouncer who doesn’t really even care how old you are.

in order to be allowed into hot wings, you have to show up wearing a costume. glittery faerie wings, furry ears and tails, fangs, cat eyes and forked tongues are just the usual scene. it’s understandable why downworlders love to hang out here; they don’t have to worry about a glamour.

with a sign that just reads “…!?”, exuberance is quite possibly new york’s most secretive, most exclusive, and most notorious nightclub. everyone knows where it is and what it’s called, but only a handful know what’s inside.

whoever thought up the concept for firefly’s had to drunk, and that’s why people love it. the blacklit nightclub that serves alcohol to just about anyone, and then hands out glow-in-black-light paint and lets them loose on the walls. you’d think people would leave covered in paint, but firefly’s has a patented brand that doesn’t mark up the skin, only the special paint on the walls.

a bowling alley slash bar, pin&&needles is best known for their funky colored, mismatching bowling pins and their obnoxiously colorful, obnoxiously strong alcohol shots. it’s just food coloring, but it makes it taste like a brand new drink.

a dark little hole in the wall that most everyone passes by (probably because it’s glamoured), the moon is a werewolf hangout. if you happened to notice it, the barista will serve just about anyone alcohol, as long as you turn into something hairy that smells like dog on full moons.

east dragon is overlooked because of its shabby outward appearance, but the smell of orange chicken and black pepper steak lures anyone into the boarded up shop. the inside , complete with a coy pond, is elegant and modern and completely the opposite of what you see on the outside.

the golden arches may not be the best food in the world, but it’s cheap, convenient, and it’s opened twenty-four seven.

everyone’s favorite daily kick start. with several selections of caffeinated bliss and sugary pastries, it’s the best way to start off the day, no matter what time your day happens to start.

a bakery and ice cream shop run by vampires, sweet tooth specializes in ice cream flavors like blood, fish, raw meat, and blood frosting on most of the cakes. be careful what you order!

coated with a glamour to keep the mundanes out, taki’s caters to everyone else. bloody steak for wolves, grasshoppers for fey, blood smoothies for vampires and french-fries and pancakes for warlocks and nephilim. it’s the social melting pot for the hungry.

bring your bank accounts if you plan to eat at cipriani’s. new york’s finest italian restaurant won’t let you through the door without a suit and tie and a reservation made six weeks in advance, and then they’re the type of place that doesn’t put prices on the menu. yet it’s the most popular place to go out for a dinner date.

new york’s most prestigious school, claremont goes from grades k-twelve, and accepts only those who can pass their brutal application tests.

one of new york’s public high schools, st. xavier’s doesn’t require students to wear a uniform and spend trillions of dollors for an education.

for those who want (and can afford) something a little more esteemed than public school, columbia offers the same gateway to the city that never sleeps, just with some harder classes and stricter teachers.

the public option to continue your schooling, new york university brings people from all over the county who are sick and tired of their stick-in-the-mud towns and hope to make it big in the big apple.

housed in an ancient, beautiful church on york street and run by the midwinter family, new york’s institute is a pit stop for shadowhunters from all over the world. some because they need a rest, others because they have nowhere else to go.

dark and foreboding, brociland forest houses many secrets, creepy crawlies, and things that go bump in the night. it’s been said that a pack of savage werewolves lope through the shadows, at war with an equally savage vampire coven.

sloping green hills stretch as far as the eye can see, disrupted only here and there by a stream slicing through the green, or trees jutting up to bite into the sky.
