I currently live in the fabulous NYC and I am just wondering if anyone else lived in this lively city as well!

I live in NYC and I will never leave! It is the best city, not only in entertainment but a great melting pot as well. It is my true home.

I used to live there for the last 18 of 20 years, live in neighboring city...the 3 names by themselves don't ring a bell...perhaps if you can provide an estimated age..might help.

I loved it when Miss New York got booted out!!! I laughed so hard! I didn't think he would be smart enough to pick Hoops! But then again Hoops  was way too good for him, Miss New York deserved him cause they are both stupid acting! New York was acting throughout the whole show! She is such a skanky B.I.T.C.H!!!

I moved to Minnesota from NY (Long Island) about 2 years ago.    I moved for a job, so I had an income source in place.  I didn't have a relocation package, so I had to arrange for transportaion (a 10ft truck was about $2000 and motels/gas/misc was about another $800 or so) and finding a new place all on my own.  The cost of living in the Twin Cities area is much lower than NY, although will vary for you depending on what your situation is now, but Conneticut is probably as costly as Long Island.  I found an apartment online and paid $785/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment in Richfield (closer to Minneapolis than Golden Valley)  I now pay $680 (1 bdrm) + $100 parking for 2 ppl for a great place in Minneapolis (loring park, awesome neighborhood).  \n\nThere's more to do here than you would think... I got a lot of weird looks when I said I was moving to Minnesota, but especially in the cities, it is diverse and there are plenty of cultural opportunities... so not like "Fargo"!  Not everyone is blond, not everyone is Swedish.  It was an adjustment the first holiday season though... it's not that people are mean or obnoxious about me not being a devout Christian or anything, but there is much less religious diversity than in NY (but I expected that).  I was surprised to see so many great restaurants... thai, middle eastern, ethiopian, mexican, etc.  There are so many lakes, parks, etc.  People really enjoy the outdoors here.  \n\nThe weather... well, it's colder sometimes than CT that's for sure, but you do adjust, just remember to layer and if you are going to rent, make sure heat is included!  It's not as scary as you'd think.  The summers also surprised me, it can get pretty hot, and then there are the tornados (they really don't hit in the metro area, though) but i see people out and about in all sorts of weather.\n\nI like it here, I can finally afford to do what I want, and I actually had an opportunity to move back to the east coast, but passed it up because I like it here so much.  Compared to what I was used to on Long Island, it's easy living.  I live in a neighborhood that actually reminds me of NYC (east village), I see all sorts of people around, and I think that's what makes an area "alive"  \n\nGolden Valley is a suburb for sure, I don't know much about it, but I can tell you that the further away you you get from the Cities, the more "cookie cutter" things get... \n\nhope this helped!

New Hampshire is a nice state.  But to be honest, I love the amenities & social progressive atmosphere of New York.  There is more in life that what this deprevation model--that exists in NH seems to afford.

I honestly have no idea where you could live. I'm very jealous of you!!! Park City is so cool. I've skied there once, and It was the coolest thing I've done in my life. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

There is some bias since I am from Chicago, but having been in New York as well, I'd still have to ADVISE CHICAGO!!! \n\nBy compare to New York, Chicago is a friendlier place with midwest charm - yet w/a keep it real attitude, (good for business and friendships alike) much cleaner and although expensive NOT nearly as high in cost of living as New York City. Down to earth place with EVERYTHING to do that embraces ALL kinds. You kinda walk outside and run into something. There's always something happening. Even if you opt for a pool hall amongst strangers, you will have a good time. Transportation - the "L" and bus system gets you everywhere pretty much 24 hours a day (not in some of the hoods after midnight, tho). Traffic is rough, but you CAN move. NYC is nearly impossible. Not to mention they drive like they have a death wish. Aggressive, fast and even creative driving is important skill. But to drive like you can go through people like Casper is asking for heart failure. The lakefront!! And attached grass knolls and parks. It is far and wide, appears clean and simply beautiful. The view of the horizon is endless. The large rocks and piers in neighborhood beaches gives you the feeling that you personally own the place. The public art - statues, giant picasso piece, heck the bridges over the Rivers. Chinatown's entryway... The parks, boulevards are cleaned up and richer than ever. Re-Progress has hit this town in the best way. Where was once gang and drug infestation, they have taken it back. (orig to clean up to attract the Olympics, now major Investment Oppys and a reversal of the suburb escape back to the city. The architecture of the homes, buildings are world reknowned. Not just downtown, but in neighborhoods, suburbs. Culture - arts, main library/many neighborhood libraries, every religion and house of worship available, Chicago symphony, booth play houses throughout as well as big Broadway stuff, zoos, museums (oh the museums, not stuffy simplistics - w/free days too?!), music venues in old neighborhood theatres...it's endless. Getting around is an easy figure. The streets are made like a checker board grid - YOU CAN'T GET LOST. There may be 10 or so streets on angle, yet consistent. Unlike the separation and confusion of the burroughs and bridges and tolls (OH MY!) of NYC - to a newcomer, it's a nightmare. In NYC, one side doesn't know the other if you dare ask direction. Chicago is also a smart city with amazing schools (both private and some public). University of Chicago* Northwestern* DePaul* Loyola. Open minds. Music!? Please. KNOWN for Jazz, blues (see it live in Chicago if you hadn't experienced the love of this music), house and now hip-hop (Kanye, Common and well, Twista) Rock and acoustic is brilliant. I saw a cover band that done the group "War" and you close your eyes and damn, it WAS "War". Bands can sustain a living here because the city is a proud place that supports one another on many artistic and business fronts. For instance, you can't get real carmel/cheese popcorn anywhere else but Chicago. Incredible, GREAT FOOD THATS AFFORDABLE. PIZZA?? Whew. We won't go there. The food standard is high. So it's hard to get bad food. It's proud for cooking good food, no matter the location, appearance or price of the joint. Diverse is a given. Not becuase all types of people/races both rich and poor just live there (that's many places these days), but all can live amongst each other fairly harmoniously (mainly on the North and Northwest sides) with exceptance and fair treatment. It's nothing new to Chicago. They don't have to get used to each other, It's an OLD city that opened their arms to immigrants in the 1800s just as New Yorks' Ellis Island did. It's a proud place to be a person of color. With the black political history in all it's glum and gorly - a lot has been taught, learned and respected regardles

The stereotype is over exagerated. I used to spend at least 2 weeks a year in New York for my company and found the people to be mostly very friendly and helpful. It is true that everyone is in a hurry and if you stand still in the middle of a sidewalk you may get walked over, but all in all New York is a fun, exciting city full of life and interesting people. I think you will enjoy it there.

You mean Albany, New York. Not Aibany.They were telling the truth. I don't actually live there, I live about an hour from there, but it is a nice area. That is, as long as you don't mind a lot of snow. I'm sure that this person was not making anything up. The quality of life is good, and I am sure it is kept up nicely.

I used to live up there. There's a lot to do. A few highlights would be Faneuil Hall, the gardens, some of the Freedom Trail, Harvard Square, Back Bay, the North End for good Italian food. Great clubs and bars in the Faneuil Hall area and Landsdown Street.
