Snake plant.

Looks cool, easy to maintain. Rotate every few days and don't overwater (once per week is plenty).

You can find one at every plant store in the city. Some spots of note if you want a boutique experience: Urban Jungle, Cultivaire, STUMP. You'll pay more but staff is knowledgeable, plants are generally well cared for, and there's a bunch of cool pots and ceramics to select from. You can also find snake plants at any Home Depot, Lowe's, IKEA if you don't care about that other stuff.

Personal Rec: If you've got a car, head to Living Earth in New Hope. Super friendly, great plants, reasonable prices.
