Moving to New York City
New York is the storied destination of American immigration, so much so that today, more than any other city in America, it belongs in the world community. The diverse communities and enduring old-world neighbourhoods are representative of this. Yet expats moving to New York today aren't the wide-eyed 'fresh off the boat' fortune seekers of old, but jet-setting, business savvy players of the world's economy. At first, moving to New York can be frustrating with competitive housing markets, schools, and employment. Work and lifestyles are brisk and energetic, but enjoying the fruits of labour is the best part of working in the 'Big Apple'. Granted, the cost of living is high but this is just the price of admission for the city's many highlights. These include dynamic night-life, the best restaurants and theatre, chic apartments and a diverse and international population.
New York has a centre-of-the-world feel, spinning not only America's financial markets but the much of the world's economy. While its influences are pitched to the far corners of the globe, expats are drawn in as welcome recruits to the city's world community.
