In this video, I'll walk you through my main takeaways from living in NYC - the things I liked, things that surprised me, and if I plan to make New York my permanent home.

Excited to finally walk you through my thoughts on living in NYC!!! 😊What are some of your favorite or least favorite parts about the city?! I'd love to hear! Comment them below ⬇
I love NYC and go at least once a year. I’m tempted to stay there for a month this summer. So glad you guys had the opportunity to do this.
That would be awesome! I highly recommend, it was such a great experience!
As someone from the Western US, NYC has always seemed like this incomprehensible metropolis. Thank you for breaking down the concept of distinct neighborhoods, this makes it seem more approachable with so much variety to explore. Great job on the composition of your videos!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful ☺️
I've been here over 40 years and still feel like I haven't seen everything I want to see. It's an amazingly diverse place and NY changes all the time.
I’ve been in NYC for 18yrs. Can wait to get out!
I come alive in Manhattan and especially in the NYU area - West Village - and in the museums, galleries, so many places - like no other city even at home in Vancouver! I have friends who live in Greenwich Village and they say after awhile there is a grind that develops to living day in and day out in NYC. In part it’s the high work pace just to afford a nice home there! There can be little down time. Also it’s incredibly expensive for friends with children who live right in Manhattan. Children add on a lot of expenses regardless of where we might live but especially so in a city like Manhattan! It’s great that you lived there for one month to see if it was possible and to get a more realistic sense of what’s best! Awesome video!! Cheers!
Super helpful. Thank you! You got some AMAZING shots!
Thank you!! ☺️ so glad it was helpful!
Thanks Erin for giving us insights! I really love NYC. Hope would visit the city one day!
Of course!! Glad it was helpful 😊 and I hope you get to visit someday soon too!! 😊
GIRL everything you said was spot on! Bummed you’re not moving to NYC as it would be so fun to meet in real life but still fun to have that shared experience 😊
100% agree!! 😊So bummed we're not moving but I will definitely be living vicariously through your vlogs!! 😊
Been considering the same experience, thanks for posting, good points mentioned all around
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful ☺️
Loved watching this!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Hey Erin 🙋 Thanks for sharing!
Of course!! :)
As a tourist who lives near London and goes to London every week, so is used to another big global city, my NYC takeaways:
Pros:
- Mad energy levels. A city, like London, that literally energizes you when you're there. Crazy people, cultures, all walks of life, love that in a major city.
- Tonnes of things to do, different vibes of areas.
- I'd move there just to eat NYC Pizza slices, I wish they were common here in the UK.
- Price of things wasn't actually quite as much as I expected.
Cons:
- That smell of cannabis everywhere, they should do something about that.
- Stuff like driving or food shopping if you live there compared to a town (I live 30 miles east of London and convenience is so much better), but that's the same for any major city really.
- Crime is a bit high of course, but again fine if you don't watch the news.
All in all, the pros massively outweighed the cons, and I came away from the place wanting to immediately return. What a wonderful city.
Drop the Mic! Nothing else to say! You covered this very well! One point that you didn't mention that I asked in one of your videos, "Did You Guys Feel Safe?" You answered yes but be aware of your surroundings! That goes for any big city.... I'll be moving in about 90 days. You summoned it well. Couldn't have said it better!!!! Look forward to more of your videos...Enjoy the weekend. 🗽🗽🗽🙂
Great call out on safety!! You summed up that answer great 😊Being aware of your surroundings is totally key when it comes to safety in New York! So glad you enjoyed 😊and that's so exciting about your move to NYC!!!! Congrats!!! 🎉
Spent two weeks there, coming over from Europe, and fully agree with you about New York giving me energy and confidence!
That’s awesome! So glad to hear you felt the same ☺️
@@eerinoneil❤
I love visiting NYC. I would love to move there too.
Totally agree! It's such a great city! ☺🗽
Erin, excellent Vido! Drop the Mic! Nothing left say! The only thing that you left out was safety. I asked you in one of your videos did guys feel safe, and you said yes. Just be aware of your surroundings. Sad you guys aren't moving. I'll be there in 90 days! Yes, the sticker shock is real. Just closed on my condo and I'm in investment banking and usually don't get sticker shock, but it's real! Real Estate there is total madness......but I chose to be in the madness and look forward to it!!!! Enjoy the weekend!😃🗽🗽🗽
Totally!! Wild how pricey it can be but for sure worth it if you can make it work 😊 it's such an amazing city! So exciting that you're moving there!! That's going to be amazing!! Hope you have a great weekend too 😊
great video
I love where I live now but I miss the energy of NYC
Me too! There really is nothing like it! ☺️
Born and raised in Queens. I lived there for 30 years and I always envied people who live out of state. I couldn't wait to leave NY and planned my exit for a long time. I do have the childhood memories but from seeing what's going on over there now I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't feel safe living there now that I have a family with two kids. But I guess it's all about perspective as well. I'm much happier living in sunny AZ.
So true👌🏼👍🏼!
I was just at Ralph’s last week!
Omg no way!! Haha I love it there 😍 it’s so cute!!
You remind me of another RUclipsr named Mimi Ikonn😀❤️
Aww thank you!! 😊❤
I hear all these locations in New York but never know where they are in relation on a map… would you be able to do a series of different areas in New York and where they are in relation to one another??
Ooooh sure can!
New Yorkers are very much like Londoners. Always talking about leaving. Then regretting it once they do.
I can’t speak for London but I don’t know anyone who has regretted leaving New York. People have been fleeing the city for decades.
Whenever i check things happening in NY in Instagram or X, i see people looting stores, or those black kids pushing people in subway or homeless people shouting and harassing people inside metro etc.. Are things this bad in NY for everyday/normal people or it is not that bad?
