TerenehMosleyAs a New Yorker who is now traveling, it was fun to read this article. I think Mr Wood has it spot on and on point with his advice. I would add that though New Yorkers can be guarded at times, they can melt like butter, so a smile goes a long way. Also be prepared for big city Ups and Downs. NY can reward the ones who put in effort but she can also kick you when you're down, so develop a hard skin and go for it. Living in NY is wonderful, enjoy it, you're living in one of the world's greatest cities.
guestI found this article very helpful! Thank you. I moved to NYC a few years back and I wish I could had access to this information at the time. One recommendation I can give is using Furnishr.com for your move. They are a New York based interior design service that will help you pick a custom look and provide you with one day installation and set up!
