Stay in NYC til you re ready to settle down.

You can always move to houston, but you can't always move to NYC.
There are definitely more chinese in NYC,

Just tonite before I read your post. I looked up flights to NYC for next month, weekend trip. SW Round trip tickets about 400

One doesn't really have to live in NYC to enjoy the lifestyle. As some of the folks mentioned, you will not be having a great lifestyle with 105k in NYC as compared to 76K in Houston. There will always be jobs in your field in NYC or Houston.

Do NYC.

You make more then enough to enjoy and it and save and Houston isn't going anywhere.

When you are ready ( if you are ever ready) to buy a home and have a family Houston will be the better choice.

Right now go spread your oats all around the big apple and enjoy it while you can.
