New to the City

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself! My husband and I just moved to the NYC right before the holidays...and we are just getting used to everything here. We just got married in October and right before that he found out that he had gotten a job up here so we moved right after the wedding festivities were over. Any advice you have on the city would be great. I grew up in Florida and the DH grew up in Atlanta, GA(where we just moved from).

Thanks!

Mandy

  • Hi. Welcome to the board (and the city) and congrats on your wedding!
  • welcome!  I hope you love it here.
  • Thanks Everyone! Yeah we are definitely having sooooo much fun. Right now we living in the Upper East Side, but we only signed a 5 month lease so that ends in March. We are thinking of moving to either Astoria or Brooklyn so that we can have some more space. What are your opinions about either of those?
  • welcome to the board and the city!

  • ohh - Astoria or Brooklyn are both good options. There are a few of us here that live in Brooklyn. There are a lot of different neighborhoods to choose from. I live in Park Slope and absolutely love it - DH and I are definitely thinking of staying here long, long term. But its also one of the pricier neighborhoods. Other good options in Brooklyn: Ft. Greene, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights/Dumbo, Prospect Heights, Sunset Park, Windsor Terrace, Bay Ridge. Astoria is good too - one of my close friends used to live there. It has a pretty good selection of restaurants, but not as 'neighborhood-y' as maybe other areas. but...i've never lived there so I can't really say.

    Welcome again and good luck!

  • Welcome Mandy!  My husband and I are also newly married and new to the city as of August and also reside on the UES!  I look forward to getting to know another UES-er (any others?)

     Best,

    Rose

  • Hi and welcome to the board (and NYC)! Unfortunately, I don't have any input on Astoria or Bklyn ('cause I live in SI), but there are many ladies on here that can help you. =)

  • Hi Rose! How are you liking everything??? I didn't think I would like the city as much as I do...but I am LOVING it. Where did you are your husband move from?
  • At first I wasn't sure about it either, after visiting I felt it was just too much, but once it was determined we were going to live here (job placement), I just told myself to like it - not like I have a choice!  Turns out I LOVE it!  I am so happy here and could never go back to the suburbs!  We are from California (I do love California, but it is good to have a change).
