On the eve of 7th anniversary of Sept 11, let dedicate this thread to New York City, the place that most of us have been and will be calling HOME for years to come. It's not a perfect city but one that attracts many young professionals, specially those working on Wall street.
It would be great to hear from many who are new to this city, those are born here and all others.
Let's start with "I love New York because..."
I love New York because of the diversity of people, the multicultural environment, the ocean, the access to world-class arts, the ability to find just about anything I want, the music in the subway and the fact that I can explore the city for a lifetime and not run out of new things to discover. I'm not into serious nightlife or world-class shopping, but it's there if I want it.
The variety of food here is mind blowing.
If you are just starting your professional career, there is no better place to be than New York at that stage of life. New York has America's best public transport system, its best museums and its best restaurants (which, thanks to the competition, are pretty cheap given the quality). You can stand at the Met and City Opera for a pittance. You can buy last-minute tickets to Mets games and BAM for only a little more. In the summer there is free jazz. You can easily survive without a car.
New Yorkers are adaptable, self-reliant and best of all, ultra-competitive.
