Moving to New York City: Pros and Cons

Reasons why a sensitive gentleman might consider moving to New York City:

  1. It really is all happening there.
  2. New York embraces any and all personal quirks and makes it easy to indulge them.
  3. The Hudson River at night.
  4. An endless supply of 24 hour restaurants.
  5. Little Italy.
  6. Every movie plays there.
  7. Exceptional people-watching, grist for the creative mill.
  8. No one gives a rat's ass about anything you do.

Reasons why he might consider not moving to New York City:

  1. Unthinkably unimaginable sweltering heat.
  2. Ripe garbage in the streets, sanitation strikes scheduled for summer.
  3. No markdowns on groceries.
  4. Subways which are havens for the hygenically-challenged.
  5. Pervasive crime.
  6. Nosebleed-inducing real estate prices.
  7. No one gives a rat's ass about anything you do.

The Sensitive Gentleman would need a roomy, clean, air-conditioned penthouse.

Another downer: ordinary errands, like getting your dry cleaning, are extraordinarily hard to accomplish.

it depends on where you live. i always found living below 14th street to be very neighborhoody, even small-towny and easy to negotiate. each area is it's own community with it's own services.

i also have friends who live way uptown in Riverdale. that sounds similar. mid and uptown that are to be avoided.

Another downer: people EVERYWHERE. ARGHHHHHHHH.
