It's not nasty, it's fast-paced. It's loud, but in the same way that a jungle is- more a steady cacophony of interesting sounds than abrasive. It's congested but that provides a sense of incredible energy, easy access to meet people, and lots of convenience. There are rats and roaches, but find a clean apartment with regular exterminator visits and you're fine, you'll only see them around garbage bags outside. It's never boring! Yes move here! P.S. there is a man shortage.
It's not fast-paced, it's hectic, frantic, frenzied, chaotic, frenetic, feverish ... and at that it's amazing how inefficient and slow everything in this city is, how much time, money and efforts even simple things require.
Well, in terms of NYC, there is a sizable Greek community in Astoria, Queens. But it makes no difference in NYC... literally every culture on the planet can be found there to one degree or another. I myself am Greek.
Totally correct!!
I am Greek also, and there is a big Greek presence in Bay Ridge as well............

I was half joking/serious. But you just owned me.
