The mines? Subway tunnels with a secret passage to North Brother Island.
Build friendship with the local teens by helping them to find a productive use for their love of graffiti-- But, don't offend the sweet church ladies: you'll need *their* help as well to stop the expressway.
Find artifacts of NYC history!

#stardewvalleyThe only thing I don't like about Stardew is the whole "gotta get away from the big city" vibe. There are small little communities that need your help with the community center IN the big city. Too many people just aren't plugged in.
And the garden needs a lot of love and you *will* be exhausted.
You want wizards? We have SO MANY wizards.
We have a guy who lives in a tent.
A next to useless, embezzling mayor? We've got those too!
Artistic beachy man? We have that! The man AND the beach! -

Most of us can't get away and as someone who has grown up in rural Germany I can tell you, this isn't the paradise people paint it to be if you are not exactly like the rest of the people living there. Finding solidarity and your own kind of people is far easier in the city.

A small town with the arts scene and diversity of Stardew Valley is VERY rare in the US as well. You will have more luck finding that "vibe" in the slightly run-down parts of a city.

Not that the game is exactly teaming with diversity IMO. But, even the little it has would blow most little US towns out of the water.

@futurebird @Zahlenzauberin yeah, in SV you help the town escape consumerism, but the townsfolk kinda want that. The reality is far bleaker in actual small towns. It would have been a much sadder game I guess.

#stardewvalley@futurebird I like the city setting, but does it need to have farming/gardening? Why not something different. I think it might be neat to run a hot dog stand or an ice cream cart.

I mean I guess not, but there's a lot of gardening around here and community gardens in NYC have played an important role in many struggles for places to define themselves.

@adriano @futurebird @Zahlenzauberin I mean, it's Walmart but you get to win instead of the entire economy of the town being drained and collapsed. I'm still playing, but I assume no one gets locked inside and forced to work past the end of their shifts without pay either.
... Also no meth or opioids, just some alcoholism. Yeah, the reality is *way* more bleak.
