I think it's one of those things that get's into your blood, and once you love it, you more or less always will. Somewhat unique and peculiar ways of life have a habit of doing that.

Objectively speaking, my time spent there was not a raging success by any stretch, but whether you are or not is almost irrelevant. If you "get" the place and lived it, it becomes an indelible part of your personality that wasn't there before.

No, NYC's good years are long dead. It's no longer the free and open-minded place it once was so I left. I consider myself lucky, I grew up during some of the best years NYC had to offer and left on my own terms when it ceased to have anything to offer beyond excellent sushi.

One thing I enjoy the most is going to all these different restaurants and obviously the shopping. But it is getting extremely expensive to do anything there.

Yes. Everyone should try it at least once in their life. You'll talk about it the rest of your life.

Yes. I've lived here for most of my life and cannot imagine living anywhere else.

I lived in NYC (Manhattan) for two years. I have both love and hate relationship for NYC. Although I made a good living, I disliked the extreme crowd and using subways.

I prefer being able to use my vehicle all the times. I guess it's the individualism in me. Growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, I thought it was extremely boring and took it for granted. However, it took my good experience of living in NYC to appreciate Little Rock. I took the first job opening to return back home.

I still keep in touch with friends and co-workers in NYC. I love being able to share my NYC experience with my fellow Arkansans because most have never lived anywhere else!

Not anymore. It's an overpriced yuppie dump ( a la gay) littered with 3rd world trash and LOTS AND LOTS of rules.

Would I live anywhere else in america ? YES southern california but I hear that is going in the same direction. Go global perhaps...SURE but my dollar (peso!) doesn't go as far anymore.

This whole country is one big blob. The 70's and 80's were good times in NYC...THE BEST.

I'm indifferent, but I plan to move to PA in the future, hopefully.
