- 2:25If you're Albanian and done well in life, Oheka Castle is where you start your marriage $100,000 in debt.
- 2:48Yannis would rather walk into the Bay than live on Long Island, threatening to backward into the water like a dog.
- 3:08Bay Ridge is about an hour from Yannis's fiancée's family, which is the optimal distance.
- 3:34A drive to Governors Island from Bay Ridge at 5:30 AM took three hours, turning what should be a half-hour trip into a journey you could fly to Miami for.
- 4:01Raising kids in a Long Island house versus a city apartment shapes whether they'll be heroin kids or cerebral New York City kids.
