I heart New York
I would never want to live anywhere else. My family is here, my friends are here, I grew up here, and my roots are here.
New York is a place where no matter how many times you have seen something, it always amazes you. New York is a place where you can drive an hour East, and be in a totally different environment. New York to me, is the heartbeat of the United States.

Re: I heart New York
For all of the things I complain about with regards to living here, every time I go away I just love coming home. The energy and diversity and the whole New York experience is just something you can't get anywhere else. New Yorker's are my favorite people! We tell it like it is as, when it matters most, support the hell out of each other!

That pretty much sums up how I feel about NY as well.
You've got museums, mountains, beaches, great food, parks......everything within your reach.

I 100% agree. Hubby and I often fantasize about moving some place else where we can have a bigger house, lower taxes,etc. But it's always just that- fantasy. The truth is I could never leave here- my family, my friends, my roots. I get emotional just thinking about leaving. In our opinion- a bigger house would be great- but without family and friends to share it with- what's the point?

Re: I heart New York
I puffy heart New York as well.
I love everything about it. For all it's "negative" there are so many more positives.
How can you beat:
Going sleigh riding at Bethpage GC in the winter The Long Beach boardwalk in the summer The wineries in the late summer/fall Going pumpkin/apple picking in Jamesport in the fall NEW YORK CITY - nuff said The shopping, the resturants, the views . . .
I could go on and on

Re: I heart New York
I do love NY! Everytime I leave here, I do miss it and cant wait to come home. I love the things that I cant appreciate elsewhere...BAGELS, good pizza, (when i was single) going out till 4am and going out after 4am and then finding a place to eat at 4am. The change of seasons, the accent that follows everywhere.

Re: I heart New York
I still get giddy when I walk the streets of Manhattan, or have dinner in the village.
When I go to Times Square, and see so many different people, from so many walks of love, it feels awesome.
When I see TOURISTS, who come here on vacation, and think it is the most fabulous place in the world. It's like Disney World for adults.

Re: I heart New York
I love NY, and LI in particular. I love the water, and boats, parks, great restaurants. And I love where i live - my neighborhood is the cutests. I would be really upset if I ever had to move.
I also work in the city but some days i walk to work slowly and just stare up at the buildings. The whole thing is just amazing and there is nothing in the world like driving into the city and seeing the skyline on the horizon.

Re: I heart New York
I agree!
I live in Manhattan and sometimes I am still amazed that I live here. This is a city where people dream about coming to their whole lives, where countless TV shows and movies take place.
About once a week I go to Central Park after work wtih my daughter and my sister and neice (who is 16 months). She runs over to other kids and we start talking to their parents. Its amazing what wonderful people live here and where they come from, how couples met, etc...
Its a great city!!
However, I have to say that I think one day we will have to leave the city We will outgrow our 1 bedroom apartment and if elementry school is anywhere near the cost of daycare, we just won't be able to afford it. I also want Jordana to have the experience of playing in a backyard and wtih neighbors outside. I don't know where i would go. The suburbs are so far from the city, I can't imagine commuting 45 minutes a day to get home to see my baby girl.

Re: I heart New York
I definitely NY! I have lived in London and Boston and nothing compares to NY. While both other cities are great, NY is home. There is an energy here that cannot be created anywhere else.
Hollagirl, I you too!

Re: I heart New York
I LOVE living in NY. I live in Queens and think it's one of the best places to live. I don't see myself moving any time soon.
I don't understand why, if people find it so difficult and/or repulsing, do they stay?

Re: I heart New York
I AM New York. I am sure I would not be the same person if I was not born and bred here. there is something about a native New Yorker that you just can't "get" by moving here.
I certainly wouldn't live anywhere else in the USA, voluntarily at least.
my fav ode to my fav city
In New York freedom looks like too many choices In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices Voices on the cell phone Voices from home Voices of the hard sell Voices down the stairwell In New York, just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot well into the hundreds You can walk around the block without a change of clothing Hot as a hair dryer in your face Hot as handbag and a can of mace New York, I just got a place in New York New York, New York
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still Tell yourself you will stay in But it's down to Alphaville
New York, New York, New York New York, New York, New York
The Irish have been coming here for years Feel like they own the place They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew Living happily not like me and you That's where I lost you...New York
New York, New York New York, New York
In New York I lost it all to you and your vices Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis I hit an iceberg in my life But you know I'm still afloat You lose your balance, lose your wife In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York
New York, New York New York, New York
In the stillness of the evening When the sun has had its day I heard your voice a-whispering Come away child
New York, New York

Re: I heart New York
I live very far away from New York and have done for 7 years, but I still feel (and sound) very much a New Yorker...
I think the old adage is true...you can take the girl out of New York, but you can't take the New York out of the girl.
