Anybody here live in New York?

Some (perhaps helpful) things about Manhattan


Manhattan is one of the dirtiest cities in the world (the early morning stench can rival Bourbon Street - the amount of trash on the street is bizarre)

If you can get it anywhere, you can get it anytime in Manhattan

You can really live without a car in Manhattan (and might be better off not trying to drive anyway)

Most cab drivers in Manhattan have amazing hand to eye coordination (sometimes you might be better off not paying attention)

Winters are Very Cold in Manhattan

You'll find some of the best bars in the world in Manhattan, some very um ... unusual - ditto restaurants

.....

I'll post more as they come to me


Edit - Try not to gawk, you'll be there at least a year and will see and get used to everything, gawking will mark you as a tourist

Most personal cars in Manhattan have a dent or 4

Manhattan is an Island, you have New Jersey to the West and New York to the East, you're in the best possible place

Manhattan is fairly easy to navigate once you get used to it
