Why do people move to New York City?

"New York is a vibrant and exciting city that offers a wide range of opportunities for expats. It is a global hub for business, finance, culture, and entertainment, and is home to some of the world's most iconic landmarks. The city also boasts a diverse population, with people from all over the world living and working in the city.

" New York City is inarguably the most fast-paced city in the United States. Los Angeles often fights for the US title of biggest and best, but the two cities really don't need to compete. They're two completely different worlds with opposite climates, urban density vs. urban sprawl, Hollywood vs. Wall Street, etc. New York's energy is infectious and its diversity is impressive -- and, in my opinion, those are the main reasons that so many people love this city. That being said, the city is not always an easy place to live -- the high cost of living, dreary winter weather (which sometimes lasts through much of spring) and non-stop, run-you-over attitude of some New Yorkers can wear you down. New York is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens. Every neighborhood in each of the 5 boroughs has its own unique vibe. Spend the morning in the West Village (Manhattan), the afternoon in Fordham (the Bronx) and the evening in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and you'll understand. Expats find themselves landing in New York for different reasons. Many people come to New York City to study at one of the cities many universities (New York University (NYU), Fordham University, Brooklyn College, Columbia University, Julliard, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Cooper Union and the list goes on. Others move to NYC for career opportunities and job transfers. The financial, fashion and publishing industries are based in New York. And, many of the largest corporations in the US are headquartered or have offices here as well. Additionally, there are jobs in healthcare, IT, hotel industry, restaurants, education, visual arts, theater, TV and film and many other industries. ," explained one expat who made the move to New York, US.
