Don't forget about wind tunnels! It might not be as cold, but when it's windy and it blows down the street...wooooo that's a whole different version of winter.
I'm from Michigan and living in NYC has always been my dream too! My boyfriend is from NYC and he wants to move back home, so we have plans to move there soon. Your videos have been very helpful on what to expect and the moving process. I'm so glad you've been enjoying living there!
Thanks for answering our questions, Kelly! That is so amazing you saw Camilla Cabello in person! 🤩 I am so glad everyone respected her privacy and didn’t bug her for autographs, etc.
That’s the good thing about NY. The city is convenient to live in because everything you might need is accessible. Also everyone tends to mind their business here lol Its rare to find people who don’t. What bothers me is the noise and i’ve lived here my whole life for the most part.
@@KellyGooch lived in upstate NY for a year and I had to walk a mile to the closest post office/convenience store cause I don’t drive lol When my grandfather used to visit, God rest his soul, he used to take me grocery shopping. I could buy anything and everything I needed. He was always trying to help me.
I've lived in NY my whole life and over the past few years things have really started to suck here. Dangerous, restrictive, different energy than before. I feel bad for those who didn't get to experience it pre covid.
Agreed. I moved out to NJ and then came back to work in person… it’s not the place I enjoyed for 4 years pre covid anymore. So I’m switching full time to NJ with no regrets! Maybe one day NYC will get back to a better place 😢
I feel like the broker's fees should be paid by the building not the renters because it seems so often they really don't do anything. I totally agree about New Yorkers being nice, just not superficially friendly. I often witness or experience small courtesies and kindnesses, especially when out with my four year old.
City has changed so much. I moved here in the early 2000s. My first neighborhoods were Greenpoint and Williamsburg and it’s unrecognizable in terms of demographics. People are much more “basic”, not as creative and colorful as before. Agree on feeling less safe, especially in subway stations. I prefer to walk or ride citi bikes everywhere when I can.
Its not rude, its just minding your own business. Which i love about New York. Im from the midwest (OH) but find the small talk awkward. I agree with you that ppl can be so helpful when needed.
Yes, people who live in cities aren't rude as such, we're just busy and preoccupied with negotiating traffic/the uneven pavements etc. My mum lives in a small place and everyone wants to chat to you all the time and I find it invasive, like I just want to say hi and post this parcel not talk to the clerk for 15mins.
Yup, and as a mid Atlantic city girl who lived below the Mason Dixon line for over 20 years I'll tell you that southern "hospitality" is a lie. They make small talk just so they can gossip, and it doesn't matter how long you live somewhere you will never fully be welcome. I'm so glad to be back in the city.
I've been here for just over a month. Only here through the end of July, but I have been soooo much more social and busy here than in LA, and I feel like doing stuff here gives me so much energy!
This was so interesting! I love New York City! I always see something special. I’ve seen a couple marriage proposals and I’ve been to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade 3 times! I’m so happy you made your dreams come true! Happy and very envious!
I'm happy you enjoy living in New York. I read 'just kids' by Patti Smith this year. So interesting to hear about the influence the city had in her life and i guess how different it was back then.
I’m from a small town in Michigan too! Lived here 20 years now! Kips Bay, Union Square and now UWS!! It’s fun to here the perspective of someone who moved from Michigan a year ago. Takes me back! It’s hard but so awesome here! People are definitely nicer than you would think.
if you say new yorkers are less talkative than in the mid-west i really can’t imagine that because when i visited nyc i had so many people chatting with me in line or just starting a conversation on the subway and all. i guess europeans (since i live in a european country) are even less talkative
Kelly, Dykes Lumber yard in park slope sells and cuts lumber. They have a lot to choose from too. It was easy to get to from F train. They will deliver large pieces too. I had them cut lumber for DYI floating shelves.
Honestly so many of the apartment hunting struggles you described are not just in NYC. I'm in Canada and trying to find an apartment right now IS a full-time job!
I think a lot, like your process, about living other places, friendliness, and Bingo. Too funny. Very articulate. Yes. I always am dreaming about where I would love to live. Making life work can be pretty powerful. Happy Tuesday! Brooklyn 😇🎉💐🌹🌺
It’s genuinely nice to see someone who enjoys living in NYC. I keep hearing people claiming NYC is the worst city ever. It made me think my experience visiting NYC was a bunch of baloney because I only saw the touristy things. I fell in love with NYC and I thought I was crazy or something.
Love this video Kelly. You look beautiful. My son moved to Rego Park from Michigan last year as a medical resident. Was looking for an apartment this year to move again but was unsuccessful. As you said, it isn’t easy and with long hours in the hospital seeing listings was almost impossible. Wish he had known your Broker. He also loves New York especially the food and the many things to do there. Good luck with your continued success there. Oh and Go Green! 💚🤍
I love hearing about other people’s experiences. I grew up in New York just outside of the city and have lots of family who live and work in the city, so I was always there, as a kid. I love visiting family now that I’ve moved away as an adult. The city just holds so much nostalgia for me, in addition to the “magic” that New York City evokes, so I don’t think I’d ever get tired of it. I would love to live in the city myself at some point in the future but we shall see. 🏙
I’ve always loved NYC and the Northeast in general. I’m from San Diego born and raised and interestingly I’ve often gotten through the years, “are you from NY?” 😂😂. It has a lot to do with my personality. I’m not rude, but I’m not “surface level” friendly. Southern California is very surface level friendly. The Midwest, in my travels, I’ve found is so sincerely friendly. I remember my first time in Chicago, just mingling and hanging with people, I actually asked “what do you want?” Hahaha because people were being so nice. I love native New Yorkers, they are salt of the earth people. Traveling through the states is so important. This country is massive and each state is like it’s own country, not to mention the differences of cities within them.
As a native New Yorker it sounds like you would thrive here 😂 and I don’t say this to a lot of people. I guess I’m used to people being blunt and I never thought of it as a bad thing. Its embedded in the culture.
Not sure if you’ve been, but since you mentioned the Metropolitan Museum of Art, have you checked out The Cloisters? Not sure if they charge anything nowadays but you can take subway up to upper Manhattan and feel like you are in a medieval setting. Plus you will ride up on of the longest escalators I’ve ever been on due to the change of the island’s elevation. It’s worth a trip and summer is a good time to go and feel like you are somewhere else entirely.
I’m really curious how the small trip grocery model affects your monthly grocery bill! Since you can’t buy and store as much does it go down? Or does the frequency increase impulse buys? Weirdly curious about this haha
Love my city. Born and raised in Queens (best borough lol). But from my understanding there are several reasons for not allowing Walmart in NYC and one is because there are a lot of "mom and pop" stores and Walmart could negatively impact them. You can find Walmarts in Long Island, but I like shopping locally. Things are expensive here but there are ways to get help. Also, the minimum wage in NYC is higher too, so I guess product prices increased also. And yes, there are so many things/events to do for free.
So much stuff to do for free! I think the most pricey things will be if you go out to eat (but there’s always affordable options) or want to do anything special like see a show on Broadway etc.
I lived in NY as a kid and I moved to VA as a teen, and I still am not use to random ppl coming up to me and starting a conversation. I agree it's not rude it's just minding your omw business and going about your day. I still perfer to mind my own business 😂.
@@KellyGooch Interesting! I would have thought they’d charge monthly or something so that’s nice! It is a risk co-signing for someone. So must take a decent amount of stuff to prove to them to be the guarantor?
Asking as someone who was born in Queens (Rockaway Beach), raised in Far Rockaway, moved to Long Island in the third grade, then moved to Chicago for college: you mention carrying your grocery bags- does no one use a cart anymore or was that just me and my grandma back in Brooklyn? I’m fine with stopping off daily after getting off the bus post work to get supplies but on the weekend I would do a bigger trip and bring the cart with me (this was all before having kids and eventually moving to the ‘burbs so I may be out of touch). If I balanced it all, I could probably do at least 4 full bags that way, making the cart worth every penny.
Hiiiii, yes some people use carts, some use backpacks, others carry by hands, others use delivery services (either local grocery store, Amazon fresh, or some other app), others carry on bikes or drive to their grocery store. The last one is mostly just the outer boroughs, it's not easy having a car in Manhattan plus not necessary since busses and trains are everywhere.
that's typical for where I live in Cali... they want 3x rent a month (which is just under 40x monthly rent annually). They also go super fast here.. been like that for years but definitely got worse since 2020 ...
I'm from a small town in south Texas. It's grown way too much over the years to a insanely popular tourist destination... I'm ready to move somewhere else a little less touristy.
Kelly I have no clue who that person you mention is. I also looked up Local Yarn Shops and there are like 10 pages of them. Downtown Yarns, Gotta Knit, Purl Soho, Woodside Fiber Arts LLC, Elmwood Yarn Shops, The Wooly Lamb. Local Yarn Shops are Different from the Big Craft Stores.
I mean 40 times my mortgage+taxes+HOA is honestly probably what I made when I bought my house. It makes sense, it's what would keep you from financially struggling to pay all your bills, it's just crazy in a place like NYC where the rents are just so high. In the suburbs it's more than feasible probably for most, which is the difference.
I live in San Antonio Texas & our house go FAST...within hours of listing & even before it was listed lol. The market is insane EVERYWHERE 😳 Majority houses here won't last a day on the market right now
There isn't a Wal-mart in NYC due to expense. They take up a lot of space and in NYC that's crazy expensive so they wouldn't be able to sell as cheaply and since people don't have cars, they wouldn't be buying a car full at once as most do since they'd have to carry it. It's just not a logical place for a Wal-mart. There are some right across the bridge in NJ though and also east of Queens.
Adding on: no Walmart in Chicago either. They wanted to open one a few years back and I believe Walmart had demands the city just would not give into- things that impacted labor laws and other issues that ran up against local politics. My husband personally hates Walmart’s practices and will not shop there, even though we have a few in nearby suburbs. I’ve no idea if the same factors were at play in NYC but I’m willing to guess there may be additional reasons besides space that Walmart isn’t in Manhattan because I have seen many cities with Targets and they adapt (go tall, go small- Columbus. Ohio has a large Target driving distance from Ohio state’s campus plus a mini one right across from campus for example). And as Kelly states, unlike in a small town (such as in Iowa, where my daughter is in college and Walmart is her only option for somethings despite her dad’s objections), you can pretty much find whatever you want in NYC and probably from multiple competing retailers.
My family is from MI originally too, but have been in CO for 30+ years now AND I LOVE IT 😍. I do NOT however love all the effing people who've moved here recently; torn up the roads, littered our parks, raised rents, then got stuck bc they didn't check cost of living & are now living in their cars...rant over 😐
I'm trying to come across respectfully as a NYer born in Brooklyn. Please don't hurt me. However, Kelly, New York City is 5 boroughs, when you say NYC, I think you should clarify that you're talking about renting in Manhattan. Manhattan is expensive as hell to begin with. It's a world of difference between Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island. Basically, if you live in the 5 boroughs everything is overpriced and is EXPENSIVE. We don't have a WalMart because it will put out the smaller mom and pop shops. In terms of the energy, I think it's different for people who lived all their lives versus people who move here; people who have to work for a living because rent is due versus people who come here to explore their passions.
You’re right! Yes, definitely very different! This is why I try to clarify that I’m specifically referencing a Manhattan perspective because that’s the only borough that I have experience living in. I definitely could have mentioned it more in this video though to get that point across :) thanks for the comment!
I'd love to move in but for just a month or 3 max to see what everyone's talking about buuut that's harder to do as a foreigner, that rent rule would just make things impossible lol
Wow that's not at all how it is in Kentucky where I live. Unless it's government income based housing all you need here to rent a place is maybe a reference or 2. Most places that are privately owned (which is the majority of rentals) just have you fill out basic information without verifying it. As long as you have rent and deposit you can move in.
People here to me are very rude for no reason at all. Coming from Brazil, I swear I can’t count how many times I cried because people were rude to me (and I hate it). It’s not always, but you were lucky.. you’re not allowed to make a mistake here, otherwise people will be rude. That’s the only thing I hate about nyc. It’s just really lonely because people are so hard
I stayed in New York once for a month. Definitely what stuck with me during my stay was how rude people were. I did not want to stay long and left shortly after.
I'm not being rude lord knows I like your videos. I just think it's not fair that us who's found you on you tube get left out because we don't do Instagram. I'm not a Instagram person nor do I care to know how to use it. I think and feel like many are starting to try to force us to get in social sites to be apart of the ppl we started and found on you tube. Long before Instagram. it's just unfair really unfair. That's my feelings on that part. I like your videos and feel we help make you where you are but due to not being on Instagram we get screwed out of being able to ask questions or even be apart of certain things.
I feel like as an introvert I'd love NY because I really enjoy being 'alone' or 'to myself'. I'm moving to Tokyo soon (fingers crossed) and it's similar there, so I think I'll get by pretty well. The money aspect of NY is pretty scary tho lol. Why does everything have to be SO costly ..🥲
Don't forget about wind tunnels! It might not be as cold, but when it's windy and it blows down the street...wooooo that's a whole different version of winter.

I do NOT however love all the effing people who've moved here recently; torn up the roads, littered our parks, raised rents, then got stuck bc they didn't check cost of living & are now living in their cars...rant over 😐
Happy for you! I love your channel. I live in Detroit now and am really excited to see you settle in. Best of everything to you. 🥰
Love Detroit!!
I'm trying to come across respectfully as a NYer born in Brooklyn. Please don't hurt me. However, Kelly, New York City is 5 boroughs, when you say NYC, I think you should clarify that you're talking about renting in Manhattan. Manhattan is expensive as hell to begin with. It's a world of difference between Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island. Basically, if you live in the 5 boroughs everything is overpriced and is EXPENSIVE. We don't have a WalMart because it will put out the smaller mom and pop shops. In terms of the energy, I think it's different for people who lived all their lives versus people who move here; people who have to work for a living because rent is due versus people who come here to explore their passions.
You’re right! Yes, definitely very different! This is why I try to clarify that I’m specifically referencing a Manhattan perspective because that’s the only borough that I have experience living in. I definitely could have mentioned it more in this video though to get that point across :) thanks for the comment!
The outer boroughs in NYC have cheaper rent
Yup!
It's so funny I've lived in one of tje 5 boroughs all my life and have never had the desire to live in Manhattan. I prefer westchester county.
Nice!
Why can’t they cut wood in Manhattan’s Home Depot? Is it a law or do they not have room for the saws in store? That’s just randomly weird.
I'd love to move in but for just a month or 3 max to see what everyone's talking about buuut that's harder to do as a foreigner, that rent rule would just make things impossible lol
Wow that's not at all how it is in Kentucky where I live. Unless it's government income based housing all you need here to rent a place is maybe a reference or 2. Most places that are privately owned (which is the majority of rentals) just have you fill out basic information without verifying it. As long as you have rent and deposit you can move in.
People here to me are very rude for no reason at all. Coming from Brazil, I swear I can’t count how many times I cried because people were rude to me (and I hate it). It’s not always, but you were lucky.. you’re not allowed to make a mistake here, otherwise people will be rude. That’s the only thing I hate about nyc. It’s just really lonely because people are so hard
I stayed in New York once for a month. Definitely what stuck with me during my stay was how rude people were. I did not want to stay long and left shortly after.
Move to Maine. The best place to be.
Here in NZ, most people are friendly, and make small talk. We don't believe in celebrities, probably why they like to come here.
💜💚💙
Having worked in New York many times, you could not pay me enough to live in New York.
I'm not being rude lord knows I like your videos. I just think it's not fair that us who's found you on you tube get left out because we don't do Instagram. I'm not a Instagram person nor do I care to know how to use it.
I think and feel like many are starting to try to force us to get in social sites to be apart of the ppl we started and found on you tube. Long before Instagram. it's just unfair really unfair. That's my feelings on that part.
I like your videos and feel we help make you where you are but due to not being on Instagram we get screwed out of being able to ask questions or even be apart of certain things.
I feel like as an introvert I'd love NY because I really enjoy being 'alone' or 'to myself'.
I'm moving to Tokyo soon (fingers crossed) and it's similar there, so I think I'll get by pretty well.
The money aspect of NY is pretty scary tho lol. Why does everything have to be SO costly ..🥲
As an introvert, I think you'll love Tokyo!! Japan overall, people mind their business, it's great.
