I have spent the summer in NYC with my sister & her family. At first I was like "Eww" but now I'm warming up to the idea of moving here.
The Pros: My depression gets so much better when I'm around family. It's a "fresh start" after a really hard year. I can help my sister out with her baby. It's a lot of stress and I want to support her as much as I can.
It will also get me closer to fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a fancy old lady
The cons are that it's a very expensive lifestyle. I will just barely be able to live comfortably in Manhattan. Lots of places do not accept dogs for some reason (?) Lots of Libs (so same as Chicago) and apparently men punch women on the subways.
Should FroCho bite the bullet and move:

Listen, just know that you can live in Manhattan and it'll still take 40 minutes to get anywhere by subway. Its a pain in the butt, people everywhere.

What about by Uber or driving?

Parking in Manhattan is crazy btw, you may not want a car, most people don't have cars here. Depending on where you look parking garages that are open on weekends can be $600-$800 / month, and street parking isn't really a viable option.
