I was born and raised in NYC and I find that, as I get older, I like it less and less. If you're a young, skilled successful single than NYC is ideal! However, as a full time working mother I find it to be more hassle than its worth. The streets/trains are (over)crowded and polluted. People are rude, loud and hostile. And it's waaaay over priced. More and more natives are moving out to make space for those in pursuit of the American dream. I am, however, a fan of the food, culture and convenience. It's definitely one of the most diverse cities in the world! And for that reason, I am grateful for my time here; the famous bodegas and their baconeggandcheeses (yes, its one word), the pizza, Chinese food, museums, nightlife, street fairs, architecture and street art/performances I am proud to be from the city that never sleeps aka the hustling capital of the world! After all, they say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere
Exciting place to live in your twenties and beyond! Surrounded by culture, arts, amazing restaurants, and so many different types of people. It's difficult to judge the city as a whole because each neighborhood (SoHo, East Village, Upper East Side, etc.) has its own distinct character and pros/cons.
New York City is a city with endless possibilities. Many essential places, like pharmacies and supermarkets, are nearby every block and many places are open until pretty late. Also, many things are easily accessible without the need of having to have a car. Every neighborhood is always bustling and there's just so much to do in this city!
