Living in New York
As the largest city in the US, New York City is filled with diversity, from Wall Street in the Financial District to jazz clubs in Greenwich Village to the high line in Chelsea and hip boutiques in SoHo. The city is divided into five boroughs: The Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. New Yorkers are known as being gruff and hardworking, and while this is true of some residents, all types of people call the city home. Local real estate is expensive, and renters quickly learn New York apartments can be very small with high per month rent.
Getting around
NYC has an extensive public transportation system with subways and buses. Subway is the quickest way to travel, and a $2.75 fair can take you throughout the city. Unlike in other cities, the yellow taxi still rules over Uber and Lyft. Driving around the city can be slow and stressful, and parking is hard to find.
Weather
New York City has true four seasons, with snowy and cold winters, warm and rainy springs, hot and humid summers, and cool and pleasant falls. It rains at least a few days a month, but plenty of days are dry. The average summer high is 82°F (27°C) and the average winter high is 42°F (5°C).
