I want to move to in NY!!!!

I notice there was a more than eight-year gap

between posts on this thread.

But, heck, everybody needs to visit or live

in New York.  The topic is evergreen.

The Big Apple is a bucket-list fixture

for folks worldwide.

So as someone who grew up 40 miles north

of New York City .. and lived and worked

in Manhattan for over ten years (back

when prices were relatively affordable),

what can I suggest?

-- First off, New York is the Apple, but a

huge percentage of the people who live,

work or play there do not live in

the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn,

the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island.

Many of them commute to the city.

Before my decade living in Manhattan,

I commuted daily by train from

northern Westchester County

during college summers ..

for jobs at Time Magazine, WABC Radio

and ABC News.

Commuting into the city takes time and

energy, but is a more affordable solution

than paying thousands of dollars a

month for a Manhattan pad.

-- Indeed.com was my primary go-to

source for employment in the aughts

through 2012.  Your mileage may vary.

-- Commuting to the city is not

necessarily a five-days-a-week

deal in the current 'época'.

One can work remotely, theoretically,

from anywhere in the Tri-State Area ..

and visit Manhattan for events,

contacts and opportunities

as desired.
