How can I go about moving to New York City?|188288

I_ve spent a little over two weeks in New York City and it was the best two weeks of my life. It_s all I think about and it_s the one thing I look forward to. My personal definition of _success_ means living in New York. The energy of the city is mind-blowing. The people aren_t afraid to be BOLD. Everybody has their own story to tell. I wouldn_t want to be anywhere else in the world.

(My dream is to write for the New York Times.)

Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody could give me some tips!

I moved to NYC from Minneapolis last summer. Here is what I did:

I sold about 90% of my stuff in garage sales and ebay before I moved here. I knew the apartments would be much smaller than what I was used to, and it was a great way to save more money.

I got a large suitcase and packed about a week_s worth of clothes, a suit for job interviews and a few things that reminded me of home. I flew out here and stayed in youth hostel (I was 23) in Chelsea.

I basically surfed Craiglist like it was my bible for about two weeks. Occasionally going to look at apartments until I found one that I liked. It_s much, much too expensive to live on your own or in Manhattan when you first got here. So I would recommend looking at apartment shares in Brooklyn or Queens. Craigslist has a seperate area on their site for people looking for shares (basically an apartment with an open room).

Once I got my housing set up, I immediately started looking for jobs. I had already put my resume together before I arrived in New York, so I started searching the internet (Craigslist again!)_for jobs. I got a part time job within about a week and worked there for about a month or two until I lined up full time employment.

New York is tough. Very tough. But it can also be very rewarding. If you_re planning to move here, make sure you_re doing it for the right reasons. Nothing will come easy for you at first, but if you really want to live here, you_ll make it.

This is just my story. I found that most jobs/potential roomates won_t even give you the time of day if you don_t live in the city. I had sent out some resumes before I arrived and never heard from them again because I did not have a New York address. Millions of people say they_re going to move here all the time. Us New Yorkers know better. Unless you_re already in the city, they won_t waste their time waiting to get you in for an interview.

This is just my experience. Everyone else_s in this city probably differs... but that_s what makes NYC so great!


I hope this helps!

get a job before moving her or have some interviews lined up. living in manhattan is extremely expensive apartments range starting at 2000-3500 for a 1 bedroom. anything less isnt in manhattan its prolly in harlem or the bronx. so yeah def have a job and money stashed away bc to even qualify for a place u have to meet a lot of requirements, i suggest going to nyu, earn ur degree, live on campus, get into an internship and transition from there! good luck!

I would definetly want to know too...keep me posted!

Find a job if you don_t have one
If not hope you have lots of money stashed away
If you want to stay in the heart Manhattan is it, but it will cost you plenty. A one bedroom can go for well over a grand and don_t expect much on size. If you are rather young or don_t mind sharing space check around colleges for postings for roomies, maybe roommates.com/.net and craigslist, etc.
Good Luck and enjoy
NY is great for anyone that likes to be in the mix!!

Get a job here BEFORE moving here, then look for a space with someone looking for a room mate (use craigs list for room mate hunt) good luck

The best thing to do is to find a job before you get there. That might not be easy depending on where you live now.

It can be expensive to get started here, and if you aren_t working right away, you will amazed at how fast you go through your savings.

You might also look into working for a company that has locations where you are now, and in NYC so that you can make a transfer.

Check out monster.com, hotjobs.com and even the NY Times websites for jobs that look like something you might want to do. It will be helpful to figure out how much you can get paid, which influences everything else you do here!

What kind of adult things are there to do in Vegas?|174270

I_m planning a trip with my boyfriend and we aren_t big gamblers. We_d like to see risque shows, venues, and anything else that gets the blood boiling. We know all about the free things to do and plan to visit all of those but like I mentioned above, would love some _alternative_ things to do as well. Thanks!

you have got to see the blue man group. they are brilliant and funny. the Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by Phil Stanton, Chris Wink, and Matt Goldman; it is centered on a trio of mute performers, called Blue Men, who present themselves in blue grease paint and wear latex bald caps and black clothing. Blue Man Group_s theatrical acts incorporate rock music (with an emphasis on percussion), odd props, audience participation, sophisticated lighting, and large amounts of paper. It is also noted for having a _poncho section_ of the audience; in the front rows, audience members are provided with plastic ponchos in order to protect them from various food, substances, paints, and so on, which are thrown, ejected, or sprayed from the stage. The shows are humorous, energetic and often employ thought-provoking satire on modern life. Some of the humor breaks the fourth wall, for example, interrupting the show to ridicule latecomers in the audience.

Here are a few adult shows you should consider seeing.

X Burlesque @ the Flamingo
Fantasy @ Luxor
Zumanity by Cirque Du Soleil @ New York New York
Crazy Horse Paris @ MGM Grand
