OK, finally made the move. At this point, if I could break my lease without anyone breaking my legs, I think I could still say I lived in New York, if only for a while.

So far, so good. Though I totally get New Yorkers complaints (and there are many). It’s cool, but it’s also hard to forget that you could have a much nicer place for the same amount of money almost anywhere in the US. But I love being able to walk downstairs and be in the city (if a little too far uptown).
