I have a question for the relocated new yorkers.
when you moved from long island or other nyc metros what did you leave behind that you miss? aside from friends and family of course.
A few of my long island friends have long lists of things they travel back to ny for, from food to activities. i'm curious to hear some of yours.  |

Of course Italian bread and bagels!! I mostly miss being able to walk to a store. I really dont miss Brooklyn. I have a much better life here even though I am out of work and have less money, lol. I do miss having some things closer. And like ILOVEPA I miss having take-out delivered. But when all is said and done I dont miss it that much and I would never give up living here.

Bread...bagels....italian pastry. That's about it! I don't miss the crowding and congestion and not being able to drive 2 miles without getting stuck in some sort of traffic, and houses being so close together and high taxes and ahhhh...i could go on!
