On the other hand, it's way too hot, boring, my dating life sucks, you can't even go for a walk anywhere, you have to have a car to get ANYWHERE, there are no parks, not enough culture , it's way too smocky for me at work and local guys are for the most part are spoiled (too many attractive women in Texas), cheap rednecks.
I'd like your idea of what it's like to live in NY city. I know an girl who used to live in NY city and she says she can't imagine living there again although she enjoyed it when she lived there. I am very much a museum and art type of girl, I'd like to be surrounded by culture and people who enjoy and appreciate it. NY seems like that kind of place. But is it true they say in NY you have no time for anything although you are close to everything?
I'd like to ask you if you enjoy living in NY, what the pros and cons are. What is the work environment in NY clubs? How are the customers? From what I've seem NY guys that come to strip clubs are more pleasant to be around, more respectful and don't waste your time like they like to do in the South. It seems NYkers understand time is money. Also, what is dating life like in NY? is it a good place to go to school, raise children?
How do you go about finding an apartment? I'd like to bring my car if I move in NY. Can you have a car if you live in New Jersey, Brooklyn, Quenns or is it still quite a hustle to own, drive and park a car anywhere around Manhattan? I like Manhattan, but would prefer to live somewhere where it's quiter and cheaper. Would Jersey or Brooklyn be a good choice? or would I be spending too much time on getting to and from Manhattan to go to work?
I know it's a lot of questions, I'd really appreciate your advice.
